TRRC installed all the existing solar panels for the clinic last month. And at no additional cost to us! They will recycle what equipment they can from the original installation. The inverter on the old system failed dramatically and proved impossible to service as the company was based in the US. With a local (Durban) company, we shouldn't have that problem again.
The system is set up for grid-tie, so all solar power generated will be used at the clinic offices and economic development areas during the day and the electric company will only supply the difference when necessary. We still need to be able to install solar for the main clinic rooms and look forward to being mostly green and off the grid at least during the daytime.
We are grateful for their support and contribution to the success of Kudvumisa Foundation's vision and mission!
