Using Renewable Energy to Include Off-grid Rural Schools into the National Equity Project Plan Ceibal

Abstract: This work presents the main results from installing Internet access equipment and laptop charging mechanisms in off-grid schools based on photovoltaic energy sources. The main characteristics, faced challenges and solutions are described. The installations where held in two public schools where Plan Ceibal -a nationwide project to achieve equal access to information, knowledge democratization and educational improvement-is being carried out. The project involved the design and installation of the hole system, … Show more
