Construction of solar collector
Participants learned practical construction as well as theoretical background about solar collector technology and different kinds of materials to use also have been discussed.
Two solar collectors from iron (2 square meters each) were constructed and installed with a 200 l tank with heat exchanger at the training place.
Presentation of group work
The last training day focused on possibilities for development of small business. Very active participation and interest of participants showed that there is a big demand on information regarding this question.
The training is part of a series of trainings on sustainable energy and sanitation, that are carried out in the framework of the project "Home Comforts". A training on energy efficient stoves has already been organized earlier this year.
