His panels sat on his roof, as in fully covered the house! He sells back power to the grid as his solar system produces more than he can consume. It was a 4 bedroom house, single storey with 4 family members: 2 adults and 2 kids. Both adults work, so minimal consumption during the day. Imagine getting a credit note every month from the power company! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

The government has to come with incentives for encourage green energy like buy back from home owners . Saw it in youtube that some places in North America when you have excess electricity from solar of your house ,the electric meter starts to reverse backwards meaning that you are contributing electricity back to the main grid . Example if your house gets electricity from two sources 200kw from main grid and you also generate 300kw excess from your solar, your electric meter will move backwards 300kw zeroing the 200kw you received from government and they will send you a check for purchasing 100kw from you . Isn't that nice . This can be a campaign tool for election next year whoever wants it

I think it will take some time before KPLC gets into such agreements with home owners/individuals... Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Muhammad Ali🐝

I bet its only a matter of time before Chinese come up with(copy ) cheaper solar alternatives, then solar will be common place. If Strathmore can do it, so can any other Kenyan Proverbs 19:21
