Mozambique possesses one of the highest solar irradiation
potentials in Southern Africa, offering a strategic opportunity for the
development of solar thermal energy technologies. This study explores the
status, challenges, and prospects of solar thermal energy in Mozambique,
emphasising its role in sustainable building heating. Despite favourable
natural conditions, the adoption of solar thermal systems remains limited due
to economic, technical, and institutional barriers. The paper highlights
successful case studies, such as the SOLTRAIN initiative, and discusses
innovative approaches using alternative materials to reduce costs. It concludes
by recommending targeted policies, local capacity building, and technological
innovation to unlock the full potential of solar thermal energy in Mozambique.
