Project Description
The MICEI Solar Energy for Eye Care project is implemented in several steps. The first step is an environmental impact assessment, followed by the design of the required photovoltaic system and the establishment of a project team. The staff responsible for operation and maintenance is trained accordingly. The photovoltaic system provides electricity for interior lighting, street lighting and power for the Institute’s operations, as stipulated by the project plan. As a back-up – for example in times of monsoon – the MICEI can fall back on the national power grid. Through an improved and climate friendly clean energy supply MICEI can save costs, operate more effectively, and extend the provision of health services. In Cameroon the demand for electric energy far outstrips the available supply. Furthermore, transportation from the source of production to the final consumer has been very challenging (due to power loss and variations). So far, there is very little engagement in seeking solar energy supply.
