Country: Kenya
Technology: Smart green grids, including mini and main grid technologies
Stage: Mid
Stage: 9
In rural Sub-Saharan Africa, only 26% of the population have access to electricity. These rural areas are deprived of clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy to supply domestic, commercial and community buildings.
In this project, Sun Harvester will work with Kenyan partners, Hope Bright Future Centre (local agent, NGO Hope for the Nations) to
design, develop and field test an affordable community mini-grid solution, powered by solar panels. Our mini-grid solution
will be scalable, so we can achieve enough power supply capacity to supply entire communities. We will replace diesel generator back-up
with hydrogen fuel cell technology to deliver a 100% renewable mini-grid solution.
Our solution will unlock affordable, secure, energy access for all, bringing benefits to sub-Saharan Africa’s most at-risk and impoverished
communities.
