Solar-powered electricity and clean cooking systems for schools in Mara Region — reducing reliance on firewood and charcoal while giving schools dependable power.
We installed a solar-powered clean cooking system at Samaritan Technical Secondary School in Tarime — a 24.57kWp solar array with 90kWh battery storage and a 36kW hybrid inverter, powering an industrial electric pressure cooker and stirring cooker for the school's kitchen.
Institutional kitchens that rely on firewood or charcoal face rising fuel costs, smoke exposure for kitchen staff, and time lost to fuel sourcing. A solar-powered electric cooking system removes daily fuel logistics entirely, while also giving the school reliable power for lighting, computer labs and administrative equipment from the same solar investment.
