We were able to connect the solar panels to our existing batteries! The program is running on solar power for about 30% of our needs and we are grateful for your support. This means that we have power during the day when we have gas shortages in Haiti or when the generator requires maintenance. Last week, we relied solely on the solar panels for the daily operations of the program when the generator required routine maintenance.
In the near future, we hope to be using the solar panels for 60% of our power needs. We need to purchase 30 new batteries to store the energy for this to become a reality.
Not only are we Haiti's largest cancer screening and treatment program, we are making every effort to use technology to help those we serve. The solar power is one small way that we can help Haiti's environment while also treating those most in need.
Many thanks!
