@karema-hitI

Si hii ni kitu unaweza jitengenezea na alternator ya gari ama there are special requirements

I guess so much is involved depending on the load of your house . I don’t want to use it just for lighting . Hata fridge . So it can’t be simple per se

Not installed Wind power but have some idea on solar. One word, not that cheap, either!!!

Wind will be useless in most areas in Kenya since you need steady and long hours for it to work Safaricom has tried it on Mombasa road, Bomet and north eastern. It is not very reliable in this region for lack of reliable consistent omnidirectional winds.

Solar is doable, depending on your demand, domestic units can go as high as 300k for a medium sized family house. If however your interest is just lighting then 50-100k depending of course on demand. Chloride Exide as suggested, try these and re;port back so we also school ourselves a little more,

@mukuna

Here is what i have seen first hand -it was designed for 10 bulbs a tv and charging phones
a 100 watts solar panel-16k
a maintainance free battery-15k
charge control they range from 3500-6000

Is it reliable ,and who installed it though

@D.... Mungai

i use a plug and pump, no batterries kabisaa, solar pump from Davis it costs around 28k then anatha 2k for wires,labour,solar holder kwa roof. i use it to pump water from my 10,000 tank on ground level to a higher up 1500 tank.
Best decision ever, i had the pump which are sold kwa hardwares ya 6k za stima did not last even 1 month.

Who sold you the panels

@hunningale

your solar power idea can be viable only if you do take care of few things. 1 is identify your load what do you wanna do with the power… if your answer wil be not limited to lighting only then yu nèed to invest on it be ready to part with 500k. now the way to do these is to get really powerful solar panels, and i mean it really powerful maybe from germany or china. then get yourself a real good efficient inverter eg power juniors’ this can power those big oled tvs, airconditioners, lights,fridge, solar heatersetc. then you have to get yourself highquality solar batteries not chloride exide, chloride exide are useless battries, get your self some huge battries like those from scheider electric. some of these battries can be so huge you cant carry them just like that. well a final note this shit is expensive yeah. but you might break even after3 or 4 years lets say your monthly bill is 8 k now that will be 8000x12 x4 do the math

You are a genius .

@hunningale

identify your load

@hunningale

part with 500k

@hunningale

powerful maybe from germany or china

@hunningale

efficient inverter eg power juniors

@hunningale

highquality solar batteries not chloride exide, chloride exide are useless battries,

@hunningale

huge battries like those from scheider electric.

@hunningale

3 or 4 years lets say your monthly bill is 8 k now that will be 8000x12 x4 do the math

You are a genius . Where can I get those batteries from and the inverter ? You solved a quater of my problem BTW

The panel is very good. Got directly from japan through a friend who was there. Issue ni batteries. have tried Chrolide Solar but hazifanyi poa. Maximum service is for a few months then thing chapas.

dry cell aka maintainance free is the way to go, initially walitumia chloride pia ikachapa in 6 months

@uncle nyam This is your forte.

[Abba]

To be honest I wish ktalk would have reasonable conversations like this, sio kila siku RWNBP, OHURU one time president,
@introvert nimepata majibu mengi. I have deeper understanding now

Nimefika Daktari.
First of all Wind power for domestic use not a viable idea unless the load is quantified.
Secondly,Go for solar if its for domestic.
The best companies i dealt with were chloride exide and Davis & Shirtliff.
Wind turbine will cost you during the initial installation and its also dependent on several factors.
Confirm to us you location then i will give more info on viability of the same.
