Testimonial

Dr. Rex Taibu
Recapo installed two solar panels; one in my mother’s house and the other in my mother in law’s house

Here is a story from some of their clients living in diaspora: Dr. Rex Taibu lives in Queens, NY: About three years ago, I learned about RECAPO team and its mission to provide solar electricity into Malawian homes. Recapo installed two solar panels; one in my mother’s house and the other in my mother in law’s house. Each solar panel is able to light two bulbs with reasonable brightness.

 

The setup is durable and has flexibility of being relocated to another house when need be. The bulbs work even when the day has been cloudy. I recommend RECAPO’s initiative to anyone interested in alternative sources of electricity.
