Trina Solar is giving 9.5 kW of solar panels to Tanzania’s Msafiri English Medium Primary School. The transportation of the modules to the project location and the construction of the solar system was organized by Trina Solar partners, SunPlan and MaxSolar, developer and operator of solar power plants, respectively.The installation of the PV system was finalized in March with the support of Hutterer GmbH and local installers were trained for its maintenance.
The Msafiri School is an officially registered NGO, founded by Michael Hell (Ampfing, Germany) and Grace Msafiri, Kisangara (Tanzania). Its establishment 2004 was mainly funded by donations from Mühldorf, where SunPlan and Hutterer are located. One-hundred and seventy children are attending the school that earned a good reputation for the quality of its education.
"We are very happy that we can support the Msafiri School and thereby also the education of 170 children with our solar modules," said Ben Hill, president of Trina Solar Europe. "This project shows that PV is a reliable and sustainable source of energy – even in regions which are not yet connected to the grid. In cases like this one, PV can even make an important contribution to society.”
