Solar Panel Specs
by Bwana Lawi 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi guys, I know this has been discussed somewhere before but I need help on the best solar panels to acquire (and install) back home. The panel will be used to power basic appliances, TV, radio, and many lights - 5-10 bulbs, and almost the same number of mobile phones. Good neighbour philosophy Also should have enough juice to power mobile devices and laptops when and if necessary. What are the specs I should look for? Which model? I want this info before I go to the vendors. /* Some back story: My (our) guy didn't win huko mashinani and he was our only hope of getting electricity Plus I don't think paying 35k per house (4 houses in total, i.e. 140k) is a good investment for basic power needs in ushago. */

Extended Smartphone Batteries
by Bwana Lawi 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi guys, Thought I should share this: should you be in need of an extended battery for most (not all) smartphones, you can get them from https://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/ I got one for HTC (the stock battery is 1300mAh, the extended is 1800mAh). So far the battery is working very well and it does retain charge for longer. Shipping is free but dont buy from their site. Apparently they don't ship to Kenya coz things get lost in the local postal. So I went and got it from Amazon for the same price and still with free shipping. Note that it will take longer to ship using the free option. I created the order on Feb 2nd and it arrived at City Square posta on Feb 21.
