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
