SOLTRAIN ran a technical tour late last year and invited representatives from solar companies, academic institutions, the public sector and those who had previously attended SOLTRAIN training sessions to participate.

Participants conducting site visits

The 37 participants were treated to a number of interesting site visits which included a range of solar technologies, including BBCDC’s now famous solar cooking technologies.

The technical tour was followed by a dissemination course for 38 participants  run  by Mr Sehloho Holomo from BBCDC and Mr Anadola Tsiu from the National University of Lesotho, both of whom had attended previous SOLTRAIN train the trainer courses.

Another technical tour will be run in late June this year with another dissemination course happening shortly thereafter.
