Discover the truth behind common solar myths in Zimbabwe.
As solar energy adoption accelerates across Zimbabwe, a number of myths and misconceptions continue to hold back homeowners, businesses, and even community institutions from embracing this clean and sustainable technology. Many people remain unsure about the costs, efficiency, maintenance, and reliability of solar systems, which can create hesitation when considering switching from conventional electricity sources like ZESA.
Debunking Common Solar Myths

Reality: With battery storage and proper design, solar energy can reliably power banks, service stations, supermarkets, and large homes. Wessex has installed large systems that consistently reduce electricity costs while providing dependable power.
