Project Description
Several rural communities reside in extremely remote off-grid locations where grid extension doesn’t appear to be a reliable long term solution.
Accessing such regions at times necessitates journeys through knee deep water and challenging terrain seasonally cut off.
People are denied regular basic lighting and cannot undertake productive activities that require electricity.
The Microgrid is typically designed for larger loads that enable productive applications.
