@useaug @UECCC1 Do you as USEA track back the impact of these expos and conferences? Or it just ends there.

I would like to see the before and after results.

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@LiraCityPost What is its capacity? Hopefully the roads around it will be tarmacked and power with solar street lights.

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@pvmagazine Does this mean when you install a system and produces surplus energy, you're paid?

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@BusInsiderSSA And of the few people I've seen talking the truth.

@dorfman_p If i can ask, what is China's sun radiance?

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@pvmagazine How do these platforms work? Or what do they do particularly?

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@AKasingye We lack people with authority for example you could find that in the full ministry they're no people who have traded before.

So how can they give advise to others when they don't? For example in the area I'm in of solar. You may find no one in the ministry with solar knowledge.

@AfroGrowth360 Solar isn't the way to go. Before you complain about increasing electricity, what if you think of solar as your alternative?

@johnrhanger Great news for the two countries. I don't know if ours herein Uganda is well documented to know how far we have reached.

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

It's such a good facility but nowadays such stadiums are power by "solar energy" to reduce on the electricity bills which in the long run become a burden to the management.

This is something National Council of Sports need to look into Or Ministry of Education Or FUFA.

[UBC UGANDA @ubctvuganda]

UPDATE - A look at the latest construction works at Akii-Bua Stadium in Lira City, as the new facility continues to take shape.

@lawrencekitema But what stops our African roads like to have lights?

Like these days there's solar street lights which are sustainable at the end of the day

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@TrinaSolarUS Trina solar over the Mars. Though your brand isn't common here on the East African like Jinko Solar.

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

@aptechsolar Good to see such solar developments in Africa. Keep going guys.

@elonmusk Now what next Mr. Elon? How can one start using this?

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

This is why I don't start solar convos with here's our 5kW packages

I start with the electricity being consumed

207.9 kWh → 6.93 kWh/day → est. solar prodn → understand timing → size storage → check peak loads → design the system

That's how a bill becomes a solar design.

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

Someone bought 207.9 kWh of UEDCL electricity in one month.

He paid UGX 160,000.

Now suppose he wants solar to replace that grid consumption.

The best question isn't what is the price of solar?

It's how big does my system need to be? 🧵 1/9:

[Bob Bogere @BobBogere]

I want the actual load profile.

What runs during the day, after sunset and during outages? What's the biggest appliance? How long does each one run?

2 homes can both consume 207.9 kWh/mo and need different systems.

The bill tells me how much electricity was bought.
