Solar energy is energy produced by converting energy from the sun to electric energy. It is the most reliable and cleanest energy and it is renewable.
In Kenya there are many solar companies that help in availing the necessary tools required to harvest and generate the solar energy and they also educate people on the importance of using it.
In the rural areas electricity has always been a problem and these companies have been encouraged to target these areas as their primary customers. According to the 7th SDG the United Nations aims at availing clean and affordable energy to as many people as possible some of these companies give people these equipments at affordable rates and those who cannot afford them they give them a daily or weekly plan for them to use to pay and still be able to have access to electricity. These companies include, Mkopa solar,d-light etc
These companies also use the social media platforms to set up shops for customers to make purchases making it easier for everyone no matter your geographic location.
The solar energy can be used in the following ways: lighting, power back up, charging phones, pumping water etc
During Covid 19 lockdown many institutions were set to be locked but the essential once like hospitals were running and they adoption of solar back-up plans would have helped even when the powers went off. Schools too were closed and most families can’t afford buying paraffin for lamps or installing electricity in there homes so the owning of solar equipments for solar energy production really helped students keep studying.
Solar energy has really helped many people especially those residing in the rural areas where they cannot get access to electricity.
