The curious tale of Kenya Power: A Broke Monopoly

[Fala12]

kuna community water pump iliwekwa na USAID. Wueeh, hio wind power was very strong. In under 1 hr a 10k ltrs tank was overflowing.
Later the project was modified to include solar - powered pump.

tuwekee picha ama location twende benchmarking.

na nikitaka solar? Kwetu kuna jua enough

1x 400W Wind turbine @28,000 = 28,000
5x steel piping mast @1,000/metre = 5,000
2x 200Ah gel batteries @25,000= 50,000*
1x 60A charger controller @5,000 = 5,000
10x Cables @50/metre = 500

*I started with 100Ah battery

I think chloride exide has a similar system retailing for ksh 350k

@Okiya pitia hapa pia .
Biggest problem is shipping the batteries to Kenya.

No idea. But I'll ask around. I'll let you know.

Oh yeah! Had forgotten about it.

600W inverter @4,000

How is the inverter ? Is it pure sine wave? If yes uli buy wapi ? Thank you.

Hakuna solar powering system inaeza udwa istep up power juu pasi ni muhimu Saidi, we need to do away with Kenya powerless like yesterday. I hate their staff sana especially when you go to lodge a complain about hiked bills where they make you pay first
