Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering – Power Engineering, , language: English, abstract: Electricity is an essential thing for a human life as it influences every part of people’s lives and it is important to the effective functioning of a healthy economy and to ensure a healthy population. However, there are still millions of people deprived of electricity, most of them in the rural areas where electrification experiences challenges such as low profitability, high economic investments or difficulty of operation, among others. At the moment, solar energy has turned into a popular and meaningful alternative energy source to meet specific demands around the world due to the climate change and global warming caused by non-renewable energy resources. The aim of this project is to develop a simple and cost-effective Photovoltaic (PV) system for the rural regions where grid electricity is not available. Specifically, the study will focus on the development of PV system in Kitui County. The research will use both quantitative and qualitative approaches to collect the relevant data. This proposed project will help improve the access and transmission of electricity in Kitui County; thus, enhancing the lives of people in the region.
