Project Details
Following the successful installation of a high-capacity solar system at his city residence, Ben Amollo sought to replicate the same level of power reliability and performance at his upcountry home in Bondo.
Despite being located in a rural setting, Ben did not want his home to suffer from frequent blackouts, voltage fluctuations, or unreliable grid supply. Having experienced firsthand the stability, efficiency, and convenience delivered by his city solar installation, he entrusted ALKIM Green Galaxy Limited to design and implement an equally powerful and dependable system for his rural residence.
After conducting a detailed load assessment and evaluating future usage needs, we proposed and installed a 16.8kWp solar PV system, paired with 12kW AC hybrid inverter capacity and a 30kWh lithium battery energy storage system (BESS). The system was designed to provide continuous power, ensuring the rural home enjoys the same comfort and reliability as an urban residence.

Project Summary
Ben’s objective was clear: complete power reliability and consistency, regardless of location. While grid power in rural areas can be unstable and unpredictable, he wanted his upcountry home to operate seamlessly without disruptions.
We engineered a high-capacity hybrid solar system capable of running the home independently while maintaining grid support where available. The 9.6kWp solar array delivers strong daytime energy production, while the 20kWh BESS guarantees long hours of uninterrupted power after sunset or during outages.This system ensures that Ben’s rural home now enjoys urban-level power stability.
