Why should you give a hoot about solar energy in Kenya today?

A RARE gesture from the government

Our government has a peculiar way of settling our huge debt from the East..

Do you remember the controversy that marred the introduction of dowry tax?

Then it may come as a surprise to learn that solar energy products enjoy little to no taxes.

Take a look at the cost of a solar panel in Kenya today

That's a very charitable gesture from a tax regime that is making it even harder for the boychild to follow the right way to fulfill mandatory cultural requirements.

.

The TRUTH is that most of the components you require to install solar in your home or business in Kenya are enjoying huge tax breaks from the government at the moment.

Take advantage of this golden opportunity while it lasts

PUNGUZA MZIGO!!!! /slash the huge bills

The recent high cost of tomatoes inspired all sorts of memes.

And you can't help but think,.....

Apart from our peculiar "Kenyan thing" of dealing with pain using humor and satire. What is the bigger picture?

We can all agree that that the red fruit or vegetable (or nyanya as we know it) has raised a red flag exposing the dire financial position most Kenyans have found themselves in.

It's not a secret anymore. Several studies have reported that We are experiencing the worst cash crunch ever in Kenya in six years.

From our locust infested farmlands to the urban jungles we call home, we are feeling the pinch.

However, all hope is not lost. you can mitigate the high cost of living by reducing your electric bills or not paying them at all, by using solar power

As earlier mentioned, government incentives, a shift in the world's manufacturing base and a myriad of other factors have paved the way for you, into renewable energy previously reserved for those without an on-grid option and deep pockets.

.

With solar, you can now reduce or do away with high energy bills in your home or business.

Think about it...

If the idea of reducing your energy bills by half or not paying them at all resonates with you. then its time to invest in solar panels.

In some countries like Australia, you can sell excess energy from your home to utility companies

Envision a future where you get paid for making the world a better place through solar energy.

Almost too good to be true, right?

Participate in creating a cleaner future.

Apart from the obvious financial incentives,

I know you envision a bright future with your kids working and living in clean and pollution-free environments, as opposed to ruining their health in fossil fuel-run factories emitting harmful gases into the environment.

Make the leap of faith into a better future for future generations by investing in solar energy today.

CALL OF DUTY

Just like the video game by that name with global popularity, your goal here is to wipe the enemy from the face of the planet.

But this is not a game. This is a serious business.

People around the world can no longer ignore the impact of mankind on our planet.

Watching documentaries such as the award-winning series BBC planet earth 1 and 2 narrated by David Attenborough will give you the sense of urgency we require to pounce

into action.

We are now seeing a conscious effort across the globe to stop further devastation of our planet.

The Paris agreement, for example, is the latest effort on the world stage where world leaders signed an agreement to reduce their countries' carbon emissions

(With an exception of Donald Trump of course.)

Since independence, Kenya has always embraced the idea of protecting our environment from the late Moi building gabions in his gumboots to the infamous ban of polythene bags by Matian'gi then in the environment docket.

As a responsible world citizen, you have an obligation to play your part in protecting the environment,

cleaner and renewable energy such as solar is a good start.however small you start you will be giving back in your small way.

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS

Despite all the challenges we are facing Kenya is a resilient and hard-working nation.

You can't help but notice the vibrancy in our real estate sector. Kenyans are building homes everyday. Either to live in or to flip them at a profit.

Here is the catch.

if you are a property developer or a homeowner you cannot ignore the difference in value between a home installed with solar and a fully on-grid one as we get deeper into the green revolution.

As more people embrace solar energy, a home with a solar installation will fetch a higher price than its competitors in the property market.

Even if you don't intend to sell your house, its future inhabitants would really appreciate your generosity as you rest with the angels.

Cheza chini.....This is between me and You

If you are still reading this, You and I have a lot in common apart from a common border.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but as a typical Kenyan I love getting the best bargains,

Basically wherever there is a genuine opportunity to save or make money

-IM IN!!

Now imagine making your wallet fatter and making the world a better place, while at it!!

You are probably the early-adopter type who like to start a lucrative business or purchase a product at offer prices before people CTRL- C then CTRL-V
