The Potential for Solar Energy in Botswana

Solar thermal uses the heat of the sun to warm up water so that it can be used for showers and other hot-water applications like washing.; Concentrating solar power concentrates the energy of sunlight by mirrors onto a focal point. The focused sunlight heats a fluid, which is used to generate steam, which then turns a turbine to generate electricity.
