Towns and villages have been left in the dark in the recent past due to obvious reasons; governments at various levels across Africa could not afford to power up these communities with hydropower plants. Recall that hydropower projects require cording to be able to take power from the hydro station to target communities.
To cord entails the use of electric poles, high tension cables, transformers, and manpower among other things. These make the supplies of power via the hydropower medium capital intensive. Due to this factor, the government at various levels shies away from the provision of electricity in our local communities. The obvious result of this is the solid darkness in villages and hamlets across the beautiful land of Africa.
To dwell in a community without electricity is to dwell in retardation and retrogression. Electricity, as far as this era is concerned, is one of the basic social amenities. It does not only provide the community with illumination, but it also beautifies the target community, and it powers mass communication agents such as the television and radio, etc, and as well makes life and living easy domestically.
Unlike the hydropower plant, solar power is easy. It does not require the use of electric poles, transformers, and cables to carry power from a particular long-distance area to another. All that is required is solar panels, a charge control unit and the inverter, and few cables. Once installed it is very easy to manage and maintain and as a result does not officially require too much manpower. Individuals can own it in their various homes.
Poverty Must Die Africa (PMDAfrica), this is where we come in; it saddens us to see our people in the dark. We have vowed to electrify Africa by taking it one at a time. One by one we shall supply electricity to homes across Africa. There is no village or hamlet too typical for us to penetrate with our solar power project. Partner with us by patronizing our products. That way we can stand on a strong footing in order to meet our aim of eradicating poverty in Africa via the instrumentality of the Solar Power Project.
