That changed with the installation of the SOL•THOR by my-PV. The DC power manager for photovoltaic-based heating converts solar electricity directly into hot water—independently of Kenya’s unstable power grid. The device was donated by my-PV to the Sisters of Mercy, the organization operating the boarding school. The solution has significantly improved daily life for around 50 boys who previously had to take cold showers. Today, they can reliably access hot water. From June 23 to 25, 2026, my-PV will present its solutions at Intersolar Europe in Munich, at booth B3.130, in cooperation with KOSTAL.   [\[Full press release\]](https://pr-krampitz.de/hubfs/260610_PR_SOL%E2%80%A2THOR%20in%20Nairobi_my-PV%20Project_EN.pdf?hsLang=en) ![avatar](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) #### [Krampitz Communications](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/krampitz-communications-news/author/krampitz-communications) [![KC-Logo-Negativ_ohne seitl Ränder](https://pr-krampitz.de/hs-fs/hubfs/KC-Logo-Negativ_ohne%20seitl%20R%C3%A4nder.png?width=283&height=80&name=KC-Logo-Negativ_ohne%20seitl%20R%C3%A4nder.png)](https://pr-krampitz.de?hsLang=en) - [Home](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/) - [Services](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/services) - [Case Studies](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/case-studies) - [Sectors](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/sectors) - [Agency](https://pr-krampitz.de/en/agency) SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER Krampitz Communications requires the contact information you provide to contact you about our products and services.
