In many areas of Kinshasa, barbershops depend heavily on stable electricity to operate hair clippers, lighting, and fans. Unfortunately, frequent power outages often interrupt business and reduce daily income.
One barbershop owner recently installed a Highpow solar battery system to solve this problem.

Customer Situation
The shop is located in a busy neighborhood and serves many customers every day. However, power outages used to occur several times per week. When electricity stopped, the barber had to pause services or use a noisy generator.
The high fuel cost and maintenance of the generator became a serious burden.
Solar System Configuration
To improve reliability, the following solar energy system was installed:
- 3.6kW Hybrid Solar Inverter
- 5kWh Highpow Lithium Battery
- 4 × 550W Solar Panels
The system powers:
- Electric hair clippers
- LED lighting
- Fans
- Phone charging equipment
Business Results
Since installing the solar system, the barbershop can operate normally even during grid outages. Customers no longer have to wait when the electricity goes off.
The shop owner also reported that the system significantly reduced generator fuel expenses.
For small businesses like barbershops, solar battery systems are becoming an affordable and reliable power solution.
