Introducing the First Solar-Powered Hospital in Botswana.
Riverside Hospital, a private hospital with state-of-the-art facilities, is a demonstration of Botswana’s premier solarpowered healthcare institution. Nestled within the heart of Francistown, the city center, Riverside Hospital has embarked on a pioneering journey towards sustainable energy practices.
Driven by the vision to reduce energy expenses, minimize reliance on utility, and ensure energy security, especially in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Riverside Hospital has established itself as a trailblazer in the integration of solar energy within healthcare services, it has embraced the opportunity to promote sustainable energy on this maiden project to mitigate the significant energy demands of health care equipment in Botswana.
The 420kWp project is a series of solar power installations, strategically designed to transform the hospital’s energy landscape. The initial phase is marked by the implementation of two roof- mounted solar power plants on the main clinic, collectively yielding a capacity of 63kWp.
