Solar Energy as power source

Solar Energy Powers South African Schools

Photovoltaic systems provided by Isofoton, of Spain, and funded by the European Union, have been installed in 1000 rural schools throughout South Africa. These schools have never been served by grid electricity, so this new power source will enable the schools to hold evening classes which will allow for an expanded educational system and for use of modern educational media tools, including much audio-visual equipment also installed as part of the program. Each school's power potential will be 880 Wp.
