Some 190 households in Hururu, Region Ten and its satellite villages yesterday received solar panels under the government’s Solar Home Systems project, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.

Each system features a 160-watt solar panel and a mobile charging facility, among other fittings.

Deputy Toshao of Hururu Village, Giddeon Hartman said “I must say how elated I am to receive this panel. It will indeed be beneficial to us as a community and as a people. At any point, the electricity can be taken away from us. We can’t predict that, so this is very beneficial because whenever we have a power outage, this will come in handy”.
