The Pleiadi, Oke-Agbe, Ondo State, Nigeria

This is a Guest House being built in the beautiful town of Oke-Agbe by Chief Garguilo and the Ajuwa Old Boys Association. The plan is to make this into a first class tourist attraction with other small chalets built around the main house.

The site currently has no access to the main grid and so it was decided that solar was the best option to provide power for lighting and pumping water from the well into the overhead tank.

Chief Garguilo also wanted solar water heating and a small wind turbine. A generator will also be installed at a later stage.
