Question: What do you do when your next two Mayan Power and Light workshops are delayed?
Answer: You teach “Circuits and Solar” at the University level, which is exactly what SEA Solar did last month.
ATC and our Solar Team, SEA Solar congratulate Faculty and Students of the Architecture and Engineering school of the of Mesoamerican University for taking our first University level introduction to solar class. Everyone learned about electricity, circuits and solar power, including hands-on training using professional grade solar and electronic equipment.
SEA Solar is available to teach solar at Colleges, Universities and for NGOs anywhere in Latin America.

We have just been awarded a grant to provide several new Mayan Power and Light workshops and to train two groups of Mayan women entrepreneurs in sales and installation of solar power in Guatemala.
On August 1, 2015 we will have a group of volunteers from the U.S., England and possibly Ecuador work with SEA Solar to install solar power on a pre-school in the rural western highlands of Guatemala. Photos to follow.
Please consider a new donation to Mayan Power and Light. We will have two new women’s businesses and we need to purchase inventory for demonstrations and sales. With an extra $2,000 we can bulk purchase entry level solar lights which will cost less and thus help with sales. More families will gain the incredible advantage of bright solar light instead of trying to see at night by kerosene lamps and candles.
With your help our new businesses will have more solar hardware to sell, they will purchase it at a lower price and they can sell at a lower price. Bulk purchasing makes it possible for Mayan Power and Light businesses to become self-sustaining.
Thank you,
John Barrie
