It’s nice to see that it is all possible. I’m from Tanzania and was happy to read about your work and of course Mason Huffine’s SolarAid projects in Tanzania. Out of curiosity, I hear that the initial cost of having a solar system is very high .But how high might it be for a house hold to have an operating system running 3 light bulbs of 12 watts, 3 potable fans, a small TV or a radio, a laptop, efficient fridge and a small water pump in Tanzania? This is a typical home in Tanzania whereby one is forced to use Kerosene and dry cell batteries to provide for some of the day to day basic energy needs. This is great work Eric.

IT would be nice if the whole continent could develop its energy needs without the pollution. Its great that your bringing a bit of solar to Africa.

I know we have a long way to go but we are all just now starting to understand the great benefits our sun offers. I currently live in NH, USA, but my family owns the North American University in Benin, West Africa. My father is the founder and I plan on going back to live in Africa indefinitely. I want to introduce solar energy as a means of providing dependent electricity for our school. Please offer any information on training or workshops available. I have been browsing the net and so far what I found offers training on systems that best fit our homes in the states, but I want to learn about what works best for Africa. I hope to hear from you, thank you again for all of your great work. A. Daisy Jobarteh Good Evening,
