dear friends,
this is from grupo fenix in managua, the parent organization of suni solar,
which did the installation in nuevo amanecer, and sponsors the people who
built the solar cookers we bought in february.
i'm thinking about going, to learn more about solar and make some contacts.
anybody else?

BUILD YOUR OWN PV PANEL WORKSHOP*
Saturday June 14th, 9-3 pm in Chelmsford, Massachusetts (near Lowell)
Learn how to assemble your own Photovoltaic (PV) panel for producing
electricity. Richard Komp of Skyheat Associates (http://www.skyheat.org) has
pioneered PV panel production as a cottage industry in Nicaragua, Mali,
India, and Haiti. In this workshop you'll get to participate in assembling a
PV panel. Depending on the number of participants, we will be making one or
more 15 Watt panels, which are capable of charging 12 V batteries and thus
are good for small applications.
* What You'll Learn: How cells and panels are made and how they work. If
you don't know how to solder, we'll teach you that as well.
* Time: 9 - 3 pm, Lunch included. Contact us if you are vegetarian or
have other special dietary needs.
* Cost: $55; optionally, pre-purchase a 15 Watt panel for an additional
$80 or purchase a panel during the workshop
* Participants: 12 maximum
* Location: Chelmsford, MA
* Instructors: Dr. Richard Komp, Virginio Mendonça, Eric Fedus
