Zimbabwe will soon begin massive production of solar panels and lithium batteries, as the government will capacityize local universities and bring expertise and technology to bring about expertise and technology.
This follows the approval of a memorandum with the International Solar Alliance (ISA) to establish the Solar Technology Application Resource Centre (STAR-C) at Chinhoi University of Technology.
The initiative is sought to build capacity for solar energy deployment, research, development and innovation, and boost the country’s renewable energy sector.
“We are pleased to announce that in July, Moyo, Minister of Energy and Power Development, Just Ended Ended Ended International Reneable Energy Conference and Expo, said: Resources are now available to everyone to participate. ”
To drive the economy forward, Minister Moyo said the country should focus on investing in renewable energy.
“When you’re thinking about these things, solar cells or renewable energy must be contextualized in the economy, and our economy currently has 17 sectors. The biggest ones are agriculture, mining, industry, manufacturing. As a renewable energy stakeholder, we need to focus on these areas and identify opportunities within each one.”

The minister said the use of fire as an energy source should be a thing of the past and should appeal to the country to accept clean energy.
“And we see clean dishes, and when we consider clean dishes, we want to free ourselves and women from the smoke produced by wet wood during the rainy season.
He also urged property owners, businesses and homeowners to join netmeters to generate solar energy and fill the energy gap.
Net metering is a system that allows solar energy system owners to trust them frequently in the middle of the day, and frequently in the national grid.
They pay for the balance between what they use and what they offer.
This interactive system will allow homes and businesses to contribute and profit from the national grid, allowing them to use renewable energy resources more efficiently.
“Energy efficiency is no longer an option. It’s necessary,” he added. “It is one of the most cost-effective ways to expand energy access, reduce emissions and support economic productivity in all sectors.”
