Solar & battery storage transform energy reliability at a school in Mombasa, Kenya

A case study detailing the installation of a 64 kWp solar PV system and 92 kWh battery storage at an educational facility in Mombasa, Kenya, by Burhani Solar to reduce grid dependence and improve energy reliability.

• Burhani Solar installed a 64 kWp solar PV system and 92 kWh of battery energy storage at a school in Mombasa, Kenya, to lower electricity costs and mitigate grid instability.
• Since the system was commissioned, solar energy and battery storage have supplied approximately 95% of the facility's electricity consumption, reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against utility outages.
• The project aims to serve as a model for other educational facilities in East Africa by demonstrating a cost-effective way to reduce carbon footprints and ensure energy security for classroom and administrative activities.
