SURIGAO CITY, April 29 (PIA) –– The Solar Energy Foundation (SEF) has formally turned-over 10-units of portable Solar Home System (SHS) to Surigao Economic Development Foundation, Inc. (SEDF) recently to be distributed to selected remote mountain villages of Caraga Region.
Solar Home System is an electricity source facility that addresses the problem of over 20 million Filipinos who live in isolated communities without electricity and depend only on kerosene, wood and disposable batteries to meet their basic energy needs.
SEF board member Philippe Saubier said the Solar Energy Foundation, which was recently launched on March 16, 2011 in the Philippines, works globally to reduce poverty, related to a lack of energy through the use of innovative solar technology solutions.
“The mission of SEF is to electrify all isolated villages through solar energy. So, SEF has tied up with Sun Transfer, the design and production arm of SEF, which produces award-winning products powered by the sun that are specifically designed for the needs of off-grid communities so they have access to electricity on a sustainable basis,” Saubier said.
SEDF president Engr. Leonel A. Santos said the turn-over of the SHS is very timely, because Mindanao is very vulnerable to power interruption due to small power reserve capacity of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
On the other hand, SEDFI executive director Amparito Carmen C. Cubil said the SHS donated by SEF would also give benefit especially to Indigenous People (IPs) communities living in the remote mountain village in the Caraga Region. (PIA-Surigao del Norte)
