Lesotho has a weak industrial base and imports about 40% of its electricity supply. The government of Lesotho has taken the development of new energy industries as an important direction to achieve energy self-sufficiency. The Mafeten photovoltaic power plant project is Lesotho’s first large-scale photovoltaic power plant project, which is an important step in Lesotho’s efforts to develop new energy industry.
Mafeten photovoltaic power Station project, the first phase of the project will start in 2020, the main construction content includes 30 MW photovoltaic power station, 55 kilometers of transmission lines and substations and other supporting facilities. In April 2023, the project completed all commissioning work and connected to the grid for power generation. As of April 2025, the project has generated more than 100 million KWH of electricity. “According to the plan, during the 25-year cycle, the power station will generate 1.317 billion KWH of cumulative electricity, with an average annual power generation of more than 52 million KWH.
The first phase of the Mafeten photovoltaic power Station project undertaken by Chinese enterprises will provide more stable power supply to the people of Lesotho and inject continuous impetus into local economic and social development.We can predict that the African market will become a golden stage for Chinese photovoltaic modules in the future.
Africa’s unique geographical location, sunshine duration and intensity are very high, photovoltaic power generation efficiency will increase by 10%-25%, Africa is very suitable for the installation of solar energy systems. In addition, the traditional power generation mode in Africa consumes relatively high costs, high electricity prices, and can not meet the needs of local residents. With unstable power grids and frequent blackouts, African residents are looking to solar systems to meet their electricity needs. In the beginning, China’s photovoltaic technology has matured, and the price of photovoltaic modules is very advantageous. Therefore, Chinese photovoltaic products will have good development potential in Africa.
As a manufacturer of solar energy systems in China, our company, Beijing Multifit Electrical Technology Co., Ltd.It has been engaged in the research and development, production and sales of photovoltaic equipment for 16 years. We are very familiar with the markets of various countries, so we have developed a suitable for the African market Low frequency inverter, inverter is very suitable for harsh environments, it can make the current more stable, to ensure the normal use of electrical appliances, the inverter also has intelligent switching from off-grid system to switch to the mains only takes 10 milliseconds. If you want to configure a complete solar system, we have both off-grid and on-grid systems for you to choose from.
