Solar controller bay with disconnected converter (top). Converter still works great and can be reconnected if someone wants to convert 120 volts to 12 volts. Works good to run 12 volt light bulbs but is terrible when used as a battery charger for your expensive house batteries

In the remote areas of Nepal, electricity infrastructures are highly vulnerable to impacts of climate change. With support from Japan, UNDP Nepal and partners have restored 14 micro hydro plants previously destroyed by flash floods, lighting up the lives of 70,000 off-grid residents. In addition to bringing steady supply of electricity to the community, the micro hydro plants will help cut carbon emissions by 45,000 tonnes in the next 15 years.
