Why Solar Power Is Transforming Juba''s Energy Landscape

Juba, the capital of South Sudan, faces chronic energy shortages with only 7% of urban households connected to the national grid. For homes, small businesses, and community institutions, a small solar power generation system offers an affordable and scalable alternative. Let''s explore how solar solutions are reshaping energy access in the region.

Key Challenges in Juba''s Energy Sector

• High reliance on diesel generators (costing $0.50–$0.80 per kWh)
• Frequent grid outages lasting 8–12 hours daily
• Limited infrastructure for rural electrification
