Miguel: December 2009 Archives
SolarAid, in conjunction with SolarChill and Greenpeace piloted a brand new refrigerator system in September and I am pleased to announce that it was a great success.
The hospital clinic in Muhuru Bay uses the solar fridge to store vaccines and serums which had been powered by a costly gas system.
The nearest gas refill site used to mean a round trip of 56 - 75 kms costing 2,500 Kenyan Shillings every two months. The introduction of solar technology has eliminated running costs completely. The money saved is now spent on updating and maintaining other essential areas of the clinic.
The clinic recently reintroduced highly toxic kerosene lamps after an old solar lighting system failed. SolarAid technicians will now educate staff on the importance of maintaining solar panels and set up a new system by early 2010.
Please support us in pioneering solar technology throughout Kenya.
