Why Tanzania can't have 12 solar power farms?

[Sijali]

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.

Many countries in the world have adopted the solar power as one of their main sources of electricity and electrical energy. They have put aside large tracts of land for pitching solar panels in what is known as 'solar farms'. Some countries, like China, are now producing some 45,000 MW (34% or more) of her electricity through solar power.

Even Kenya, has now started a huge solar farm to tap into this huge, cheap and clean potential energy. In India, private individuals are producing electricity from solar farms and sale it to the state! The prices of the panels and batteries are increasingly affordable and some countries, Morocco, have opted to produce theirs.

Perhaps I am not well informed on this, but to my knowledge Tanzania is yet to start even a one solar farm! Invariably hesitant, scared to start something new and always lagging behind....that is becoming our trade mark!

Our leaders are busy with Stiglers project, they don’t want distraction

Solar Power Farm

Is this in Tanzania?

Is this in Tanzania?

No, I posted this picture just for illustration purpose

Not our priority for now...

Tanzania is able and can afford building solar power farm also their individual who can independently undergo the project, Abruptly we are bothered with water sources which is advantageous due to low technology we've relied in only hydropower without considering unnecessary distraction of natural acquatic and since water is utilized by both plants and animals , so we are battling for our own lives
Solar powered could be much optional as clean, cheap energy

I totally agree with you that solar power is a fantastic source of clean and affordable energy. It's great to hear that so many countries are embracing this technology and investing in solar farms. It's also encouraging to see that the cost of panels and batteries is becoming more affordable. Regarding Tanzania, I understand your frustration, but I think it's important to remember that every country has its own unique challenges and circumstances. However, I do think it would be beneficial for Tanzania to explore the potential of solar energy. Speaking of exploring different energy systems, have you heard of yenex.com? It's a platform that offers blogs on various types of distributed energy systems. It could be a great resource for anyone looking to learn more about sustainable energy options.

I think there are a few reasons for this. First off, setting up solar farms needs a lot of money upfront. Solar companies might be willing to invest, but they need to be sure they'll get a good return. Plus, there's the whole issue of land availability and getting the right permits. It's not just about having sunny days, but also having the right infrastructure to support these farms. And don't forget, we need skilled workers to maintain and run them. So, it's a mix of investment, planning, and the right policies to make it happen.

Excuses, excuses... till Kingdom comes! Many private firms and individuals in India, China, Italy, Nigeria etc have their own solar farms and sell electricity to the state. Now, you want to have me believe that what could be done by individuals is so expensive and unaffordable to the government of Tanzania?
