Tecnosol

ENERGY:

Solar

Over 9,500 PV systems installed in households and businesses in rural Nicaragua.

In rural areas of northern and central Nicaragua more than 75% of the rural areas are un-electrified. This simple fact impacts the quality of life of rural families who have little to no access to lighting or clean water.

Tecnosol promotes solar, wind and hydroelectric energy alternatives for the lighting, refrigeration, water pumping and irrigation needs of businesses and communities that have no access to the main electricity grid. The company has substantial experience in selling, installing, and servicing decentralized PV and wind systems.

Impact:

Stimulates economic activities through the creation of small businesses and 55 new jobs.
Over 9,500 installed systems.
The displacement of more than 2,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually
Clean power to more than 20 schools and health centers.

In November 2006, Tecnosol was awarded the Renewable Energy & Energy Savings Award by President Mr. Enrique Bolaños of Nicaragua.
