This Wednesday, the fourth and last photovoltaic #SolarEnergy project began to generate #electricity at the #LatinAmerican School of #Medicine (#ELAM), promoted by the #solidarity network #MediCubaEurope.

With a total installed power of 208 kWp, around 50% of the centre's energy demand is covered.

A mural illustrates the #SolarPanels on the roofs, contributed by international solidarity to contribute to this beautiful #Cuban internationalist project. This initiative is part of the #EnergyForLife program, which seeks to guarantee a stable and #sustainable supply to Cuban #health institutions in the context of the current #energy crisis, thus strengthening health services to the population.

A workshop on the construction of #solar cookers was held this Saturday, June 6, in #Madrid, #Spain, with the aim of sending them in July to schools in #SantiagoDeCuba.

The workshop resulted in the construction of 13 concentrating #SolarCookers.

Solar cookers are mainly built with cardboard and aluminum foil, they are detachable and easy to move. To operate it also requires a pot, preferably dark, and a glass bowl or even the door of an old washing machine, elements that allow the greenhouse effect to be generated to concentrate the solar heat.

At the end of the construction, two cookers were tested in the courtyard and it was shown that it reached boiling in a few minutes.

Thanks to this system it is possible to cook food using only the #energy of the sun, without the need for electricity, gas or firewood.
