Overview

As part of the Power Africa Initiative, USAID awarded a grant of USD 320,000 to install solar PV systems in 92 health centers in Sofala, Mozambique in May 2021. SolarWorks!, the grant awardee, will install systems with a total capacity of 55.2 kWp and a storage capacity of 220.8 kWh. Each of the 92 health systems will have enough power to meet key energy needs like lightning, phone charging and running equipments like vacuum aspirator, CD4 machine, microhpone, gynecological examination lamp and computer lamp.[1]

Operation and Maintenance

The grant from USAID will cover the O&M cost for one year[1] and SolarWorks will then cover the cost for the next 5 years.[2]
