Kenyan floating solar crowdfunding bid might once again wind up smelling of roses

• German business Ecoligo is offering mini financial investment in the building and construction of a 69 kW floating solar plant on the tank of a blossom ranch.

German energy startup Ecoligo in 2014 efficiently increased sufficient financial investment with its crowdfunding platform to fund a 75 kW planetary system for the Rift Valley Roses blossom ranch in Naivasha, Kenya.

Currently the Rift Valley organisation is intending to mount what Ecoligo claims would be the country's first floating solar project-- a 69 kW system on one of the company's 2 reservoirs.

Ecoligo is aiming to create EUR126,000 from little range financiers ready to dedicate EUR100-25,000 utilizing its crowdfunding platform as well as opened up the appeal yesterday. The investment term for the job is 4 years with an estimated 6% annual return available and a 0.5% premium for "early riser" dedications made prior to July 19.

The floating job planned would certainly include German devices in the form of 216 solar components provided by Solarwatt as well as four Kaco inverters. A Kenyan professional has been awarded the building agreement.

Ecoligo claimed it anticipated 1,628 kWh to be created every year from each kilowatt installed with all the power created used by the blossom ranch.
