20kWp Solar Installation at Mbihi School – Clean, Reliable Power for Modern Learning
Billson Solar is excited to highlight another successful renewable energy installation—this time at a school in Mbihi, serving approximately 250 students. Led by our experienced team under Eng. Emmanuel, we completed the installation of a 20kWp solar PV system, fully integrated with a 20kW Deye hybrid inverter and a 30kWh lithium-ion battery bank.
This project replaces the traditional, noisy diesel generator with a clean, silent, and cost-efficient hybrid solar solution—enhancing the learning environment and supporting the school’s transition to modern technology-powered education.
