Why is There so Little Solar Energy Generation in Botswana?

At this time, the average resident in Botswana, using more than 200 kWh/month, is paying 88.28 thebe (1/100 of a pula (P), the currency of Botswana) per kWh, which is equivalent to US$ 0.0762/kWh (@ P11.59/US$). Compare this with the average costs of electricity in the US at $ 0.1273/kWh and Germany at $ 0.3140 $/kWh.
