Clean Energy

Efficiency and Solar

Over the years we have promoted and helped to build chimneys on bio-fuel stoves. Otherwise kitchens can be horribly smokey. Some of our older beloveds have persistent coughs from years of smokey kitchens. Easier than making one from scratch are these ceramic two-burner stoves. Last year our supplier, an excelent solar store called ElectroSol, didn't seem to be able to keep them in stock. We wanted one for our goddaughter, Natalia and her husband, German, especially with their sweet new baby, Rolando. This year we bought one for them! Happy people!

This year it looks like our main solar PV projects will be to repair or upgrade systems from past years that aren't working quite right. Here is Sam in the solar store with a new panel. We also got a battery and should be able to install them next week.

 Maybe pictures will be added with the installations when I'm back in Puno in a few weeks. Stay tuned!
