Your complete guide to solar and borehole projects in Zimbabwe.
Solar Power Systems
A professionally installed, high-quality 3kVA solar system from ProSolar System Zimbabwe typically ranges between $1,500 and $2,500 USD. This variation accounts for the specific components chosen and the complexity of the installation.
- Quality of Components: The final price is influenced by your choice of premium Tier-1 panels, a robust inverter like those from Must or Deye, and high-performance lithium batteries.
- Amount of Battery Storage: The capacity of the lithium battery bank is a significant factor in the overall cost.
- Scope of Installation: Our comprehensive packages include all hardware, mounting equipment, cabling, and the expertise of our certified installation team.
A complete 10kVA solar system is a substantial energy solution, typically priced between $6,900 and $10,000 USD. This system is designed for large households with significant energy demands or for small commercial operations. The investment covers a high-capacity inverter, a large battery bank for extended backup, and a significant number of solar panels to ensure energy independence.
At ProSolar System Zimbabwe, we believe reliability is non-negotiable. That is why we exclusively use "Tier-1" rated solar panels, which guarantees that the manufacturer is financially sound and has a proven track record of quality. We recommend monocrystalline panels for their superior efficiency and performance.
Our selection of trusted Tier-1 brands includes industry leaders such as Jinko Solar, JA Solar, Canadian Solar, and Longi Solar.
The best long-term value and performance come from **Lithium-ion (LiFePO4)** batteries. This technology offers a much longer lifespan, requires no maintenance, and is safer than older battery types. At ProSolar, we supply premium lithium batteries from globally recognized brands like Svolt, Dyness, and Must Energy.
A 3kW system is the perfect size for managing the essential energy needs of a typical household. It can comfortably run a wide range of appliances, including:
- All indoor and outdoor lighting.
- Home entertainment systems (TVs, decoders, sound systems).
- Internet and networking equipment (Wi-Fi routers).
- All personal electronics (laptops, phones).
- A standard refrigerator and a separate chest freezer.
- A small borehole pump (when not used with other heavy loads).
Please note that this system size is not designed for high-consumption heating appliances like electric stoves, geysers, or kettles.
Borehole Drilling Projects
The total cost for a borehole in Zimbabwe varies widely, from around $900 to over $7,000. This price is determined by the required drilling depth and the site's geological makeup, as drilling through hard rock is more expensive. It is important to also budget for the pump, water tank, and any necessary electrical work.
Yes, in most cases, permits are a legal requirement. You must apply for a permit from the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) before drilling. We also strongly advise checking with your local municipal authority for any additional regulations to ensure full compliance.
A professional geological survey, or siting, is a crucial preliminary step. It uses scientific analysis to pinpoint the most promising location for finding a sustainable underground water source. Investing in a survey is the best way to minimize the risk of drilling a dry, costly hole.
