Solar Power in Botswana – Photovoltaics – The Technology
There are two kinds of PV systems: grid-connected and off-grid systems. In grid-connected systems, the AC output of a solar operation is fed into the electrical grid to supplement the power produced by other power plants. These operations usually do not include any storage so they can only generate and supply power to the grid during daylight
