Few people can afford electricity in Senegal owing to high prices.
But solar power is proving to be a practical alternative for majority of the population.
Many in the capital Dakar are slowly embracing this green and cost effective source of power.
Solar is quickly rising as a prefered form of energy in Senegal.
Across Dakar technicians are actively installing solar equipment for homes, hotels, and companies.
A small solar water heater costs about 600 dollars.
With a 300 litre capacity, the equipment feels like a heaven sent for many residents.
But to supply all appliances in an average household, one would need more accessories, and that means sinking deeper into the pocket.
To solve that, a young Senegalese inventor developed a system that would enable price conscious people also enjoy benefits of solar electricity.
