SOLTRAIN Botswana exhibited the solar trailer during the World Facilities Day exhibition held May 11, 2022 in Gaborone. This exhibition comes after a long break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event is an annual celebration of facility managers, organized by Dikago Facilities Solution (DFS), sponsored by the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFS) and Eagle Technology.

SOLTRAIN Botswana participated in the exhibition held at Botswana Bureau of Standards (BOBS) by exhibiting the solar trailer, owned by the Clean Energy Research Centre, University of Botswana. The theme of the event was ‘Leading a Sustainable Future’ and had over 120 people in attendance.

Several attendees to the exhibition were excited to visit the solar trailer and appreciated how both a thermosyphon and a pumped solar water heater can assist in energy efficiency at homes and offices.
