It took our volunteers almost 9,000 km in the air, 35 km on the road and 9 km on the water to reach the village of Purubiakirú in Panama.
The solar equipment was purchased locally and transported by pirogue, the only way to reach the village.
To minimize the impact on the village, the panels were installed at the top of the hill, in a field. The batteries, inverter, etc. were installed in a technical room, built in 2 days by the Embera Indians.
The village now has 4,400 Wp with two voltage levels, 110 and 230V, as well as internet access.
Our 4 volunteers thus had the opportunity to spend 6 days with them: an extraordinary experience they won’t soon forget: “the most beautiful mission he has carried out for Energy Assistance”, as Oriano sayd.
Many thanks and bravo to our 4 volunteers Oriano V., Dominique T., Jean-Luc R., Tony MdH. for this incredible mission.
