GREEN LAB UP AND RUNNING!

Yesterday afternoon we made the final connections and we are finally harvesting renewable energy! Even though there was cloud cover the solar panels alone were making over 400W. Today that will increase to around 1kW. Riaan has mastered the programming of the various controllers and the system is running well. Right now there is a course running in the lab and the delegates are using computers powered by renewable energy! Should we have a power failure or load shedding they will continue working without any interuption!
Soon we will have the portal running where we display the data regarding energy harvested.
