During our trip to Mavila in Mozambique, we set up a solar powered system with a 12 volt battery backup to run light for six rooms and a few plugs. These two panels should provide about 140 watts of power per day. Thank the Lord Scott Beathard was with us to help with the wiring from the panels, to the regulator, to the batteries, to inverter, to the light fixtures and sockets; otherwise the priests would still be sitting in the dark. In the picture, Jill and Andrea have just finished mounting the panels on the roof right above the priests' bedroom. Since theft is a big problem in a place where people literally nothing, this spot would make the panels the most difficult to steal, "Hey Father Kailesh, either that's one big squirrel or someone is trying to swipe our juice!" Watch out General Electric, these women can do anything!
