ABSTRACT

This paper highlights the importance of adopting use of solar kits to overcome the shortage of electricity supply in the city of Kinshasa instead of polluting generators. Given a need for electricity delivery estimated at 5 kWh for a poor household of three occupants, a 1 kW solar kit sold for US $990 would perfectly replace SNEL network, the unique electric utility company that uses rolling blackout to handle its low power supply capability within the town, with all the environmental benefits in lieu of a 4 kW power generator sold at US $900 with all the consequences related to the use of fossil fuels in terms of CO2 emissions harmful to health and the environment. Similarly for a middle class household of five occupants, a solar kit of 3 kW to 2,700 dollars or 5 kW to 4,600 dollars is far preferable to an 8 kW generator of US $4,155 which pollutes and entails expenses related to the fuel consumption.
