With the increased unreliability and ever increasing tariff charges from power utility companies, it has become necessary to look at alternative sources of energy. One of these is solar energy.
In Africa, there is an abundant supply of sunshine to enable a steady supply of energy for most of the time throughout the year.
The use of solar power is, therefore, an attractive alternative to mains power.
The initial capital cost for installation of a solar energy plant is, however, higher than of other types of energy sources such as hydroelectric systems.
With advancement of technology, the installation cost is steadily decreasing.
A number of companies, dealing with Solar Energy retail Business, have been established around the World.
In Zambia the solar energy industry is still in its infancy.
Business houses should therefore be encouraged to invest more in this type of energy source.
