One of the biggest probles that face off-grid rural based institutions namely schools and health centres is electric power. Lack of power limit the period of study for students. The result of this is poor avademic performance. Attempts to use fuel-powered generators have quite often been short lived due to costs. For environment activists, this option is not acceptable because it pollutes the atmosphere. The main objective is to Demonstrate how solar power can be used as a non-grid electrification option to rural areas.
