Thanks for the breakdown on solar power. The last time i checked,a 45W shurjo solar panel was costing around 26k. Where can one be gotten at 9,500 and which make is it?

I installed one for my paros in shags in 2008 cost roughly Ksh 160,000. Major costs:

150 Watt Panel - 80,000

I000 Watt Inverter - 30,000

Two 100 AH Batteries - 19,800 (9,900 each)

Charge Controller - 6,000

Rest of cost goes to installation charges and accessories.

This system supports 12 energy saving bulbs and a 21 Inch colour TV you can also do some light ironing. All the lights are on AC hence consumption is a bit high. I intend to re-wire the lights to DC and install a smaller inverter for the TV. Other option is to isolate the lights from the TV and install a separate panel and battery bank for each.
