Small and medium businesses in Botswana's capital of Gaborone and second largest city of Francistown have resorted to installing solar panels obtained from nearby Chinese shops dotted across the major cities of the country. Hairdressers and secretarial service providers have designed makeshift saloons powered by solar panels at open spaces in order to continue eking out a living after failing to pay rentals and high electricity bills.
