Barefoot solar engineers are trained at the Barefoot College to install and maintain solar-powered systems.
Local manufacturers were trained in Danish solar power technology, including how to produce, operate, install and maintain solar panels. A new type of solar panel, based on locally available materials, was designed and 75 units were produced, installed and tested in the Tashkent Municipality.
"To date, we have provided 1,500 cubic metres of solar panels to rural medical centres, entrepreneurs and a natural reserve," said Shavkat Isamiddiniv, Director of ENCOM, a private company that produces solar panels.

Resilient solution for the health sector / Une solution résiliente pour le secteur de la santé

Category 5 storm Hurricane Maria made landfall on 18 September 2017 on the small island of Dominica. The storm left its entire population, 72,000 people, without electricity and water, and left up to 20,000 buildings, health clinics, schools, damaged or completely destroyed. Climate change has highly increased such events. The devastating consequences of the hurricane on the country's vital infrastructure urged Dominica’s prime minister, in a submission to the UN, to commit to transforming Dominica into the first climate resilient Small Island Developing State. Electricians without borders was called on by the government for its technical expertise, to assist.
A pilot solution was designed : to assess and retrofit vital public health infrastructure to be more resilient in disasters with “stand alone” photovoltaic kits. These use renewable energy to secure an “emergency pocket” of power needs for six health centers on the island. The pilot solution was deployed by December 2018, targeting health needs during disasters while also tackling climate change. The solution provides adaptation to its effects (easily removable solar panels), and mitigation (helping decrease the carbon footprint of healthcare and improve the island’s energy mix).
Maria, ouragan de catégorie 5, a touché la petite île de la Dominique le 18 septembre 2017. L'ensemble de sa population, soit 72 000 personnes, s’est retrouvée sans électricité ni eau. L'ouragan a endommagé et/ou provoqué la destruction complète de près de 20 000 bâtiments, dispensaires et établissements scolaires. Le changement climatique a considérablement augmenté la fréquence de tels événements. Les conséquences dévastatrices de l'ouragan sur les infrastructures essentielles du pays ont incité le Premier ministre de la Dominique, dans un document soumis aux Nations unies, à s'engager à faire de la Dominique le premier Petit État Insulaire en Développement résilient au changement climatique. L'ONG Électriciens sans frontières a été sollicitée par le gouvernement pour apporter son aide de par son expertise technique.
Une solution pilote a été conçue : évaluer et rééquiper les infrastructures de santé publique pour qu'elles soient plus résilientes en cas de catastrophe. Des panneaux solaires "autonomes" utilisant des énergies renouvelables ont été installés pour garantir les besoins en électricité de 6 centres de santé sur l'île. La solution pilote a été mise en place en décembre 2018 ciblant les besoins en cas de catastrophe tout en remédiant au changement climatique. Elle permet l’adaptation à ses effets avec des panneaux solaires facilement démontables et l’atténuation de ceux-ci en contribuant à diminuer l'empreinte carbone des soins de santé et à améliorer le mix énergétique de l'île.
3.2Kw worth of solar panels went onto the roof today.
Any power we don't use will go back into the grid and others get to use it instead.
We get paid for it, so it's all good.
The panels aren't green though :)

The sound systems for live entertainment at the festival were powered by solar generators. Yay for alternative energy!
In November 2014 we installed a 4200 W Solaflex tracking array of photovoltaics. Photos in this album document it through the year.
On the day depicted here, just before the winter solstice, we generated 21.1 kWhr of power... not bad!

ICSC staff showcase the latest models of the TekPak, a portable solar power generator, at the Manila Mini Maker Faire 2019 at the Mind Museum on June 22. The maker faire will be held until 6 PM of June 23. The TekPak is a sustainable and renewable solution to communications, lighting, medical, and other energy needs. TekPak 4 was designed by ICSC, Frederick Espitola of Solar Pilipinas, and Haiyan survivors. TekPak 5a and 5b were designed by ICSC, RE-Serve volunteers, Solar Scholars and Haiyan survivors, with support from Tuklas Innovation Labs. The units were assembled by Tacloban City Solar Scholars. The TekPak is the key component in the Solar Scholars training program of RE Charge Pilipinas. The program trains residents from disaster-prone and survivor communities to assess their energy needs and to utilize and maintain renewable energy systems, including the TekPak, during emergency and peacetime situations. RE-Charge Pilipinas, a post-Haiyan initiative of the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, has reached seven provinces and continues to work with organizations and communities from all over the Philippines.

(b) A Super Capacitor (100 Farads !)
(c) A flexible solar cell (ebay)
(d) A PNP transistor to hold the joule thief off, while light is falling on the solar cell.
The RE-Charge Pilipinas team based in Tacloban City has been assembling TekPaks, portable solar-powered kits meant for lighting and powering emergency communications and medical equipment. Thirteen TekPak 5a units will be deployed in the municipal disaster risk reduction and management offices of Salcedo, Quinapondan, Balangiga and Lawaan towns in Eastern Samar. The team is also replacing 3 TekPaks with new batteries and other parts which will be deployed to selected areas in Bicol for use as community charging stations. The assembly team is composed of RCP innovations officer Glinly Alvero and RE-Serve Corps members Cyrel D. Bajen and Jeric C. Sembrero. (c) Glinly Alvero/ICSC
Although the DIY Solar Panels are working, the current angle of the sun's arc is passing through a lot of very tall pine trees, blocking most of the sunlight. It is however enough to see the grid-tie inverter is working, and goes to sleep every evening. I can unplug/turn off the breaker the inverter is tied to, and the inverter shuts off it's output. Look at the note on the photo, it'll show you where the DIY Solar Panels are located temporarily.
Here's the formula for mounting solar panels in your area:
Tilt Angle of the Panels = Latitude(your location) + 15degrees , Locate the array in an unshaded area facing the equator (true south) and tilted as described in the formula above.
Anxious for "SPRING" in order to build more panels, and mount them all in a better location
