"Before we had our solar power system installed, we used lanterns during the night. The lanterns had to be moved from one location to another and provided little lighting. The solar power system allows us to turn the light on with the flick of a switch; this has given my family great comfort. My children can now study under brighter lighting, we can now see our way to the bathroom instead of having to use a torch which was especially difficult for my elderly mother. Lighting also means we feel safer in our homes because if we feel the presence of an intruder we can turn on the light to see who it is." Ram Kusan from the Bua Province     "The solar power home system is very good, I am very happy with it and so is my family. Before the solar home system we were using a generator and the filters for the generator were very expensive. The solar home system has made life easier, we have access to lighting, we can enjoy listening to a radio, and we also have a fridge in our home. I am very happy with our solar home system."
