At remote sites far away from the electricity mains, solar power can provide in a clever solution. In several projects Pico Sol gained experience with this technology. We would like to share this knowledge with you.

▲ Solar power system at Cambodian orphanage. About 70 children have enough power for lighting. Also a television and a computer is connected to the system. Left: The inner part of the technical area provides space for batteries, a controller and inverter.

On this website you can design your own solar power system step by step.
