RE: Solar Power as an Alternative Source of Power in Africa (Some Pictures of a Friend's Installation Which he did this Past Weekend)
You make it seem easy. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately most people scare easily when they gear the cost of solar panels and batteries especially since these things are imported and the Naira does not exchange favourable either dollars and Yen. Still, solar power is much better than running the low power generators most households run and it is good for our only home, earth. Thanks for sharing.
You should do more on how someone can start from scratch and and install a portable system, where they can get the tools they need and how they can get help. More people should go green especially here where the utilities are unable y to stay up for up to 50% of the time.
Yeah, cost of materials usually scare people from embarking on a solar project. But in the long run you are better off with it as it would be cheaper and safer than running a petrol generator. Solar panel are known to have a lifespan of 25 years. I've seen one of 10 years working real good. Thanks for your comprehensive reply to this post.
