Category: Safety Alert | Source: ZERA
In a country where the quest for reliable and sustainable energy is paramount, the rise of substandard solar installations has cast a dark shadow over Zimbabwe's aspirations for a brighter, more sustainable future.

| Substandard Solar Installations Fuel Infernos - A Lethal Threat |
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has sounded the alarm, attributing a significant number of electrical accidents and fatalities to the proliferation of low-quality solar products and improper installations.
The Alarming Statistics: According to ZERA, at least 27 deaths have been reported this year alone, resulting from over 200 electrical accidents. This follows 45 deaths recorded last year.

Safety Upgrades

The Dangers of Substandard Products
At the heart of this crisis are substandard solar products, often imported and characterized by low cost but high failure rates. Consumers lured by cheap prices are left with dangerous equipment.
Agnes Mandishora's Story: After purchasing cheap equipment, she found the lamps and batteries defective and impossible to return—a scenario all too common in Zimbabwe.
ZERA senior engineer Man’arai Ndovorwi emphasized that about three to four lives are lost every month due to bad installations. Improper wiring, especially when combined with existing electrical connections (like in fowl runs), creates deadly electrocution hazards.
Regulatory Measures: How ZERA’s ESPIRA Act is Governing Solar Products and Installations in Zimbabwe
ZERA is spearheading efforts to restore order through the Energy Solar Products and Installation Regulations Act (ESPIRA), ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable solar installations across Zimbabwe.
A key measure is the mandatory installation of advanced breakers in every household. According to inspector Thubelihle Ndlovu, these breakers detect minimum faults and isolate circuits immediately to prevent electrocution.
The government is promoting local manufacturing to reduce reliance on cheap imports. This fosters a domestic industry capable of producing safe, efficient, and durable solar solutions.
System failures cause financial loss and contribute to e-waste. Defective panels and batteries end up in unregulated dumps, posing long-term environmental hazards.
How to Protect Yourself When Choosing Solar Products & Installers in Zimbabwe
Ensure your investment in solar power is safe and reliable. Verify certified brands like Must, Deye, Growatt, Livoltek, and Hanchu, choose accredited installers, and insist on warranties for your panels, inverters, and batteries.

Opt for certified installers like Sona Solar Zimbabwe who are trained under ZERA and follow strict safety protocols.
