One of the the partnership do Federal government with the distributor Roraima Energia, or to benefit 31 thousand residents of four Yanomami communities to Olos technology installation of solar energy systems with batteries nose units of health Of region.
Em Xitei, were two photovoltaic kits installed: one in the nursing home accommodation to supply lamps and the freezer for refrigerating food and medicines, and another in the infirmary to guarantee the functioning of the lamps and the air concentrator.
Em Olomai and Waputha, the solar source will also help maintain the indigenous basic health unit’s LED lamps and a freezer.
Yes, in Auaris, the first of two systems installed supplies lamps, sockets for the ward and two microscopes in the laboratory, while the other kit serves the base pole, with lighting for the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms and sockets for drinking fountains and use by professionals.
Each kit installed has capacity to generate 160 kWh/month for local communities. By the end of the year, the forecast is that plus 20 solar kits with batteries be installed in new health units in the Yanomami territory.
What was it like before solar energy?
A initiative of the Federal Government to install solar energy systems with batteries to improve care in health units in the Yanomami territory started in January this year.
Before thatThe service structures had only with generator engines power diesel oil based, which required high consumption of fossil fuels per day and required a complex logistics and dangerous transport of these fuels, as the poles are only accessed by air.
With the installation of the systems, the Federal Government estimates that logistics will be safer, with a reduction in transport costs and an increase in the renewability of local energy.
