60kWp Solar Installation at Kimilili Boys School – Powering Education with Clean Energy

Billson Solar is proud to showcase another milestone in institutional renewable energy adoption with the successful installation of a 60kWp solar power system at a boys’ school in Kimilili, serving approximately 1,200 students.

The project was expertly executed by our technical team led by Eng. Emmanuel and Eng. Amon, delivering a robust, scalable, and future-ready solar solution designed to replace the school’s traditional noisy diesel generator.


Project Overview

To meet the growing energy demand of the school and ensure uninterrupted learning, Billson Solar designed and installed a high-capacity hybrid solar system comprising:

  • 60kWp Solar PV Array

  • 50kW Deye Hybrid Inverter

  • 150kWh Lithium-ion Battery Bank

  • Complete AC & DC protections

  • Professional system design, installation, testing, and commissioning

This hybrid configuration guarantees stable power during the day while storing sufficient energy to support evening and nighttime operations.


Why the School Transitioned to Solar

Prior to the installation, the school relied on a diesel generator that caused:

  • Excessive noise during learning hours

  • High fuel and maintenance costs

  • Power interruptions affecting ICT and boarding facilities

  • Environmental pollution

The new solar system now delivers:

  • Quiet and reliable power for classrooms, dormitories, and administration

  • Significant reduction in fuel and electricity costs

  • Uninterrupted learning supported by battery storage

  • A cleaner, greener, and more sustainable school environment


Impact on Learning & Operations

Since commissioning, the school has benefited from:

  • Reliable power for ICT labs, lighting, and academic equipment

  • Improved study conditions free from generator noise

  • Reduced operational expenses
