Project Overview:
The project aimed to provide reliable internet access through solar installations. While the internet is now operational, several challenges have emerged that need to be addressed.
Current Status:
- Internet Connectivity: Successfully established and running.
- Solar Installations: Implemented and functional.
Challenges Encountered:
- Power Outages: The frequency and duration of power outages have increased, with some lasting up to a full week.
- Additional IT Equipment: More IT equipment had to be installed to support the system. Laptops now require charging via batteries that are powered by sunlight, adding to the complexity.
Future Needs:
To ensure the sustainability and improvement of this project, further funding is essential. This will help:
- Mitigate the impact of power outages.
- Upgrade and maintain the necessary IT infrastructure.
- Enhance the overall reliability of the system.
Conclusion:
Continued support from donors is crucial for the success of this and similar projects. We anticipate reposting this project with updated calculations and conditions to reflect the current needs and challenges.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to making a difference.
