In August 2019, under the GreenTech project implemented by SunDanzer Refrigeration, Winrock staff visited Zimbabwe to conduct a market feasibility study for solar cold rooms for smallholder vegetable farmers. We found the country suffering from a serious electricity crisis, with 18 hours of load shedding a day. While this situation is terrible for the citizens of Zimbabwe, it may accelerate the scale-up of solar, which could be a long-term solution for residents and businesses who would no longer have to depend on the centralized grid.
