Lighting-up a farmers' community
Gone are the days of studying with candlelight and spoiled food due to the lack of proper cooling! The village of La Gracia received electricity for the first time ever. It is produced by a state-of-the-art centralized COMMUNITY MINI GRID.
This COMMERCIAL Off-Grid Solar System is providing 24/7 electricity for over 40 house-holds, the school, the village water-pump, and the football field. The electricity can be purchased on a prepaid basis.
