A 0.05MW solar minigrid in Kisii. This serves 350 homesteads who pay 300/= per month. Why are our leaders not driving us towards this direction where the Poor can afford lighting @10 bob a day?

Wish they can raise the posts higher so that hapo chini they can plant some vegetables so that the land doesn't go to waste .utilizing land well . I love the economic empowerment that people are starting to believe that they don't need politicians to empower them rather they need to empower themselves .I love this

With such invention do we really need the Lamu Coal power plant. That power has no market and will just make electricity expensive in kenya Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

Very nice..who is behind this project?I also agree that the panels could be raised so that the land below can be used(plants may not do well due to lack of sunlight) the power stored in a battery bank,with each user having an inverter?
I don't like the KP model where one pays a standing charge whether you use power or not.

One needs a license from ERC not Kenya Power.
