Grant Description

On August 24, 2006, the Chinese Government donated 180 solar water heaters to the Zimbabwe Republic Police as part of a project to introduce China's experience and technology in solar energy development to the solar energy-rich country.

The goal of this project was to evaluate the performance of the Chinese-made solar heaters under local conditions, to train local technicians in installation and maintenance, to demonstrate the green energy technology, and to promote commercial and industrial cooperation in green energy.

The pilot project, worth 1.5 million yuan (187,500 U.S. dollars), was completed in 1998, positively affecting the lives of 110 households. The financial value of this second phase of the project is unclear.
