Padibe girls comprehensive secondary school has a population of 323 students, located remotely in Lamwo district. This hard to reach school faces frequent power blackout from the grid hence the need to rely on solar PV. The old, existing solar equipment could not meet the energy demand of the school, with some systems installed many years ago and no longer functional. Thus a new system was installed, supported by the SPEA Program.
