A 38-year-old woman from Bulawayo's Woodlands suburb narrowly escaped injury in a solar battery explosion at her home on Saturday. The explosion, attributed to overcharging, resulted in the destruction of the house's solar system valued at $20 million. The council's acting chief fire officer, Lynos Phiri, reported that the fire was extinguished by the family before the fire brigade arrived, who found the solar power installation severely damaged.
