I love this. I have been researching about solar power as I'm also working on building my own solar energy plant to empower local businesses. I'm really encouraged to see the this is already happening in some parts of Zimbabwe

[@Washington_Chipango]

please send us your inquiry on [e-mail]. We will give you a system that will match not only your needs but your budget as well.Thank you, looking forward to getting your inquiry soon

[@raybernhub2622]

From my limited knowledge of solar energy it's not financially sensible to power a stove using solar as it significantly increase the start up cost due to high energy needs for stoves i.e 3kw. However for lighting, TV and fridge a 1000w/1kw Inverter can do the job.

Use gas for stove ,,,shun away from electrical stoves they use a lot of power ...
