SolarCity: High Powered Solar Panels in Dumaguete
Story
Aiming to reduce the carbon footprint and extensive environmental damage within the community, FoundationU spearheads an off-grid 300KW solar power facility that covers almost 5400 square meters. This project addresses the need for more reliable and clean energy sources in the City and promote solar power as a viable tool to address local environmental issues. This highlights the ever-changing scope of technology and the environment.
Impact
On a bigger scale, with readily available land and manpower, the project can be extended to other communities by connecting them on the grid. This will benefit another 5000 individuals- in the process helping energy suppliers have bigger outputs that can be supplied directly on the grid. This could potentially result to a lesser payment scheme on consumers. Electric brownouts will be a thing of the past.
Challenge
With rampant rotating electric brown-outs on the loop, the local community is at a race to address the pressing need of alternative and stable energy sources. Around 500 families within the area will be directly benefited from this project, and around 50 small-scale commercial establishments. With readily available sunlight, the power to harness is at sustainable levels. Economic activities will continue with the access to more energy sources, thus giving more life to this project.
