1 MW Grid-Tied Solar Farm
Baka Solutions seeks loan financing to develop, construct, own, and operate a 1 MW grid-tied solar photovoltaic power plant in Zimbabwe. The project will supply electricity to the national grid and/or private off-takers under long-term agreements. With approximately 2,200 Tier-1 bifacial modules and smart string inverters, the plant is expected to generate about 1.9 GWh annually over a 25+ year operating life.
Capital Expenditure Breakdown
Loan request: $650,000 (80% debt financing) · Estimated annual revenue: ~$190,000 at a $0.10/kWh tariff.
Rural Solar Mini-Grid Electrification
Alongside the 1MW grid-tied plant, Baka Solutions is developing a standalone solar mini-grid to electrify a rural community more than 10km from the national grid — matching the site profile the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) targets for its community solar mini-grid programme. The system pairs solar generation with battery storage to supply households, small businesses, and anchor loads such as a clinic, school, or business centre.
Sizing follows REA's proven mini-grid templates, and the project is being progressed toward REA implementing-partner registration and ZERA generation licensing, with a pay-as-you-go, smart-metered tariff model so it can operate sustainably once construction is complete.
Project Milestones
Specifications above are indicative and will be refined following the site feasibility study. Baka Solutions welcomes conversations with donors, development partners, and impact investors interested in rural electrification.
Track Record
Eight completed residential solar installations (1–5kW each) in Msasa Park, Harare, giving homeowners reliable, right-sized power and protection from load-shedding.
