Simsa Solar Powers Off-The-Grid

Managing director of Simsa Solar, Matthews Simon said they found an opportunity to bring in products that offer direct long-lasting solutions to the country’s power problems using solar. Simsa offers effective off-grid solutions that generate reliable power to minimise inconvenience at an affordable price. The products include solar pumps, boreholes, septic pumps, lights and geysers. Simon said they decided to venture into this business as they realised that solar provides an opportunity for large-scale expansion of renewable electricity generation adding that Botswana has abundant reliable sun. “Solar power is the key to a clean energy future.

Every day the sun offers more energy than we need to power everything on earth. The public should be encouraged to use solar products, especially since electricity prices are going up frequently. I long to see houses that are set up on solar,” he said. According to Simon, solar power is suitable for remote areas that are not connected to the energy grids.
