Sun-Powered Schools: Smart Energy Storage for Rural Education

Problem

Opportunity

Access to Electricity

In Benin, 58% of the population lacks electricity ( World Bank), 4,000 rural schools need electricity, and 1 MILION students lack online educational resources.

Impact of Power Outages

Businesses face 47.6 days of outages yearly, impacting operations, including education in schools. (World Bank)

Cost and Sustainability

Diesel generators are expensive and environmentally harmful (IEA).

Solution available

Current solutions are costly, need regular upkeep, and have long installation times.

Oil

Gas

Nuclear

Renewables

Coals and others

Benin's peak electricity demand, currently at 250 MW, is projected to double to 500 MW by 2025.(IRENA)
USD 90 billion by 2030 must be invest in West Africa for Renewable Energy ( IRENA)

Benin aims to increase renewable energy utilization from 2% to 24% by 2027.

Benin's abundant solar potential offers 1,700-2,000 kWh/m² annually.
