Chibwika solar mini-grid daily energy consumption is almost equal to the plant''s energy production under no losses of about 32.4 x 5.742 = 186 kWh. After 20% energy losses, the system energy available for sale reduces to 148.8 kWh resulting in a daily energy deficit of 31 kWh, i.e. under-sizing of the plant by 5.40 kW.
This study gives insight into the business of solar mini-grids in Zambia and would be beneficial to stakeholders such as those in the energy sector like the Ministry of …
