 The Solar Giraffe is a standalone solution that brings community members together and while they wait for the cell phones to charge they discuss community issues and challenges under the covered space provided.
-The Solar Giraffe consists of a structure to support PV panels and a roof to create a community space. The solar system powers a technical closet, under the roof, that offers 10 mobile charging outlets and a radio player. All other systems are installed to support and protect the electrical system and its users. In the future more plug-in-play solutions can be added, for instance, internet hotspot, television, computer, and others.

 ==Business Model==
-The original Solar Giraffe was installed from a grant but at the moment (Feb 2022) we are negotiating with a mobile communications company to add the project next to their antennas to serve the communities.

-For the consumers, currently the services are free but a pay-as-you-go solution is being studied. At the moment no financing options are being used but we are studying several options.
