Successful Installation of a 24kWp Solar System for a school in Igunga— Powered by Billson Solar EA Limited

In our continued mission to drive clean, reliable, and affordable energy solutions across Kenya, www.billsonsolar.com  is proud to highlight another successful project completed at a learning institution in Igunga.
Led by our team lead, Eng. Emmanuel, we designed and installed a 24kWp solar power system, integrated with a 30kW Solis hybrid inverter and a 30kWh lithium-ion battery bank—significantly boosting the school’s access to stable power.


Why the School Needed This Solar Solution

Before adopting solar energy, the school relied heavily on a noisy diesel generator that disrupted learning, increased operational costs, and produced harmful emissions. The frequent power outages also affected classroom activities, computer labs, dormitories, and administrative offices.

Transitioning to solar was a major step toward:

  • Ensuring uninterrupted learning

  • Reducing electricity costs

  • Eliminating noise pollution from generators

  • Promoting climate-friendly education environments


What Billson Solar Delivered

Our team installed a fully optimized renewable energy system tailored for institutional use:

✓ 24kWp Solar PV Array

Ensures sufficient daytime power to run classrooms, labs, offices, and essential equipment.

✓ 30kW Solis Hybrid Inverter

Provides smart energy management, seamless switching, and long-term reliability for demanding institutional loads.

✓ 30kWh Lithium-ion Battery Bank

Stores excess energy to power the school during evenings, cloudy days, or grid outages.

✓ Fully engineered, tested & commissioned

Designed to deliver maximum efficiency and minimal maintenance.


Impact of the Solar Installation

Since commissioning, the school has experienced:

  • Continuous power for classrooms and ICT labs

  • A quiet learning environment with zero generator noise

  • Significant fuel cost savings

  • Improved reliability for school operations

  • A greener, environmentally conscious campus

This project is part of our initiative to help schools across Kenya embrace renewable energy, ensuring that learners have access to reliable electricity as modern education increasingly depends on technology.
