Bicknellski 276 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here is our next project plan at CMS for Indonesia that we have started working on. Mission: Provide a prototype for a portable solar array for rural or remote areas in Indonesia that have underserviced / overly expensive electrical infrastructure. 1. Develop a prototype of the a portable solar array. 2. Share the design and build process with local NGO's in Indonesia. 3. Gather donations to help prototyping and support a train the trainers program to have local trainers spread the design and build throughout Indonesia. Creative Commons Design: SOLN1 v3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Y5TvWpWoQ#t=109 SOLN1 v3 Our first solar 50W panel. We bought it used for 250,000 Rp. This will be the base of the portable solar power generator. Arcurus, Fabrizio and fedde 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Fabrizio 162 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Bick, are you thinking of maybe funding this project with the microloan project as well? Or maybe applying / allowing donations for it? I'd be happy to contribute towards this ^^We now also have section for free / atlernative energy, so I'd be happy to see some updates/progress posts.. or just some planning talk in there Link to post Share on other sites
Bicknellski 276 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Fab this project I am thinking about getting a "grant" to do the prototypes and then see if I can get loans for people locally who may want to build these seed units. The idea will be be that this are the base for a larger system that can be built on for years adding both battery storage and solar panels. Arcurus 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bicknellski 276 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 We have completed the build for the basics for the solar charger but we have 1 dead LiFePo4 battery that we need to get RMA on so I am working on that. We also got a quote on installing a solar array at our school. Here is the 50W panel battery pack charging power banks from used laptop batteries we repurposed. fedde 1 Link to post Share on other sites
