It's difficult to care for a hundred children while in the dark and over night. City Power comes three times a week for a couple hours and go. Our solar system that we use for our administration, for pumping water for laundry, cooking and shower, for our school, for light and power,... contains 10 panels, an inverter (3kw) and a 24 batteries bank (Deep Cycle 6Vcc-220Amp).

The life span for these batteries is 3 to 5 years. We acquired them in 2012 and for 5 years we were back to random city power and gas generator too expensive to run. One battery cost $200 so we will need $5,000, accessories included, to replace them, and operate, as of before, normally.
