Not everyone needs a big system. If you live in a self-contain in Rumuokoro, a student room in Choba, or a single room in Abraka, a small setup can change your life.
What one room uses
| Item | Watts |
|---|---|
| Fan | 50–70W |

| Phone + power bank | 20W |
| Laptop | 60W |

10 hours at night = about 2kWh.

Read solar generator vs full system.
Renting?
Ask your landlord before fixing panels to the roof. Read solar for tenants.
Landlords
One central system for the whole lodge is often cheaper per room. See solar for student lodges.
