Introduction

It involves solar photovoltaic installations – 1.5 kWp each, and all of them together generating 20,200 Kw/year – which costs an estimated 120,000 euros.  The 10 installations subject to this agreement will have an estimated useful life of 20 years.

Objectives and target audience

The target audience:-

  • School-age children;
  • Students;
  • Citizens.

The project aims to communicate the possibilities of solar energy and photovoltaic energy in particular to the society and more specifically, to students.  It also aims to communicate the need for sustainable development.  The objective is also to demonstrate the possibilities of the urban integration of these technologies to engineers.
