Solar Cells for Remote Areas of Argentina

Several months ago we told you that the Argentinean government was helping the rural zones with their power problems by installing solar energy. That time we are talking about solar energy kitchens for schools in Jujuy. Currently the government is installing solar cells in the province of Catamarca to empower schools, homes and public dependences.

The provincial government along with rural school’s students is involved in a project to install photovoltatic solar cells in different parts of Catamarca. The real news is that students from the Technical Schools themselves will do the installation.

According to the Public Services Sub Secretary, Rafael Assante, the panels will be located mainly in the localities of Aguas Calientes, La Angostura, Corral Blanco and Ampujanco in north Belen. They will also install panels in Ciénaga Redonda, Antofalla and Tijuelas, in the remote Antofagasta de la Sierra department

The panels will generated between 2 and 4 amperes, and between 0,46 and 0,48 volts. The initiative of bringing renewable energies to faraway territories is also taking place in India and Africa.

For Ecowordly , these kind of proposals are always welcome so our salute to the Argentinean government.
