China-based global solar module manufacturer, JinkoSolar officially launched its energy storage systems (ESS) product offering in Gaborone, Botswana.

In this post, I focus on concentrating solar power (CSP). This option has been under consideration for several years in Botswana and may see implementation in the future. Let''s begin by taking a closer look at the technology. There are two main types of CSP units: point-focus and line-focus units. Point-focus CSPs comprise an array of
