There is a simmering debate in Kenya currently to a point of a revolutionary move from grid to solar power. The idea on many of the solar proponents’ minds is that one would wake up one morning and decide to give the electricity utility a wide berth and automatically switch to solar energy. According to Kenya’s Energy Regulator, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), the country has tremendous potential in solar energy, yet with less than 1% of the country’s energy mix being tapped from solar. Indeed, the statistics show that demand for grid power continues to grow even as solar capacity expands. The other thing that your solar service producer will not tell you is that solar batteries work the same way as mobile phone batteries.
