Portable Solar Stations Developed As A Power Source In South Africa
Even though it’s the location for the World Cup this year, South Africa is facing an energy crisis. Unfortunately, electricity is not an abundant power source for running machines and buildings within the country. So, a non-profit group called Solafrica has stepped up to help South Africa by developing a series of portable solar stations as an alternative power source.
These portable, power stations are made of a compact system with solar panels and accumulators without complex wiring to draw energy from the Sun and use it as a power source. Currently, Solafrica plans to use these power stations to entertain residents of the country who can’t afford to attend the World Cup and lack an electric-powered TV set for watching the games. Then they intend to set up the power stations at various schools in South Africa after the World Cup to satisfy existing energy needs.
