The schools and health centers receiving the panels are largely off the grid and have never had electricity before. This solar pilot project, costing an estimated $3.63 million, will fundamentally change how they operate, and the services they can offer to surrounding communities. If the photovoltaics installed on top of these buildings successfully deliver affordable power and positively impact people, the project could be expanded across Kenya, including in urban centers. The country has set a goal to make renewable energy nationally available by 2012
