CLEAN SOLAR COOKING STOVE

Client : St. Monica Moshono Girls Secondary School / Location: Arusha / Year: 2026

The Hybrid Solar Power System installed at St. Monica Moshono Girls Secondary School is designed to reliably power the entire school, supporting both academic and boarding operations while promoting clean and sustainable energy use.
The system supplies electricity to classrooms, administration offices, student accommodation, kitchen facilities, water pumping systems, and various school equipment, including high-demand appliances such as milling machines. A key highlight of the installation is the integration of efficient electric solar cookers, which significantly eradicate reliance on traditional firewoods cookers and are capable of serving more than 1,400 students.
