  • SoL
  • Energy Resources
  • e-mail ltsolar_at_sopris.netgt
  • United Nations
  • Conference on Energy
  • February 2, 2000

World Health OrganizationWHO Fact Sheet N132
  • ...Health and energy are interdependent
    factors.
  • ...Energy strategy for rural areas....critical
    in achieving lasting health improvements.
  • Solar Energy can play an important role in
    improving the health/energy infrastructure if
    integrated with a broader array of end uses.

HEALTH APPLICATIONS
  • Vaccine Refrigeration
  • Ice Pack Freezing
  • Lighting
  • Communications
  • Medical Appliances
  • Sterilization
  • Water Supply Purification
  • Lifestyle Amenities for Staff
  • Income Generation

Water and Energy in Schools
  • Water and energy are vital components of life,
    the opportunity to learn about these fundamentals
    in school should not be missed.
  • This is a vital opportunity to train the students
    in basic life skills...

13
LESSONS LEARNEDINSTITUTIONAL
  • POLICY PLANNING
  • POLICY TO INTEGRATE RENEWABLE ENERGIES
  • CAPABLE MANAGEMENT
  • CREATE LINKS WITH OTHER SECTORS
  • LOCAL SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE

14
LESSONS LEARNEDINSTITUTIONAL
  • DONOR PROGRAMS FAIL
  • LACK OF LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE
  • LACK OF LOCAL INCOME FOR OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE

15
LESSONS LEARNEDOPERATIONAL
  • STANDARDS
  • FOR INSTALLATION
  • OPERATING FUNDS
  • MANAGEMENT
  • LOGISTICS
  • SERVICE
  • SPARE PARTS
  • TRAINING
  • MUST BE ON-GOING

16
LESSONS LEARNEDSYSTEM DESIGN
  • PROCUREMENT STANDARDS
  • INTEGRATE WITH END USE APPLICATION
  • ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION
  • SIMPLE, ROBUST, EASY TO MAINTAIN

17
LESSONS LEARNEDDEVELOPMENT
  • NEED FOR RELIABLE RESOURCE DATA
  • CHOICES DRIVEN BY PROGRAMMATIC NEEDS NOT
    TECHNOLOGY
  • EVALUATE THE PILOT PROGRAM

18
CASE STUDYDOMINICAN REPUBLIC
  • 652 Rural Health Clinics
  • 1,000,000 from EC for PV
  • 164 Health Clinics with PV
  • Vaccine Refrigerators
  • 4 Lights
  • 6,000 each installed cost
  • Installed 1992-94

19
DOMINICAN REPUBLICPERFORMANCE
  • 81 SYSTEMS EVALUATED AFTER ONE YEAR
  • 25 Failed to Function
  • 60 Required Repair
  • 15 Functioned w/o problems

20
CASE STUDYDOMINICAN REPUBLIC
  • WHAT WENT WRONG?
  • Inefficient Loads
  • One-Size-Fits-All Design
  • Inappropriate siting of Systems
  • Inexperienced Installers
  • WHAT WAS DONE?
  • Technician Training Program
  • Repair Program Detailed
  • Funds not allocated

21
Dominican RepublicRECOMMENDATIONS
  • MANAGEMENT
  • Funds for O M
  • Placement, Procurement
  • STANDARDS
  • Design, Installation, Service

CASE STUDYSOLAR ENERGY FOR HEALTHAN INTEGRATED
FOCUSCHOCO, COLOMBIA
  • Summary of an evaluation by
  • Pan American Health Organization
  • Government of Holland

23
An Integrated FocusGOALS
  • Improve Rural Primary Health Care Using Solar
    Energy
  • Achieve Sustainability with Community
    Participation
  • Demonstrate Feasibility of PV Rural
    Electrification

24
An Integrated FocusOBJECTIVES
  • Establish Community Council
  • Generate Funds Locally
  • for Operations Maintenance
  • by Community-based Micro-Enterprises
  • Training of Community
  • Solar Energy Systems
  • Micro-Enterprise

25
Micro-Enterprises for Income Generation
  • VIDEO THEATERS
  • BATTERY CHARGING STATIONS
  • SALE OF LIGHTING SYSTEMS
  • PV Portable Lanterns
  • 2 Lamps, Battery, Control
  • 2 Lamps, Battery, Control, PV Panel

26
INCOME GENERATED FOR OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE
  • April - Dec, 1995
  • Orpua 496.
  • Guineal 655.
  • Docordo 420.
  • Noanama 335.
  • US dollar equivalents shown

27
Conclusions General
  • The project was well accepted by the Community
    and Health Institutions
  • There was not active participation by the local
    government

28
Conclusions Health
  • Solar Energy Improved Rural Health Services
  • Increased Vaccination Coverage
  • More Rapid Malaria Diagnosis
  • Effective Emergency Communication
  • Lighting for Night Visits
  • Lighting for Staff Residence
  • Improved Health Education
  • Fewer Home Accidents w/ lamps

29
Conclusions Community Participation
  • The Community can generate funds to maintain PV
    Systems for Health Care.
  • Community Councils always need assistance with
  • Management Skills
  • Knowledge of the Market for PV
  • Direct Relation with Suppliers

30
Conclusions PV Electrification
  • A Financial Credit Program needs to be
    Established to expand the Market for PV Systems.

Case StudySchool LightingHonduras
  • Six 9-Watt lights for classrooms
  • Purchased Equipment
  • Battery purchased by school with financing
    available from Soluz
  • Paid for with proceeds from Adult Literacy
    classes
  • Donated Equipment
  • 50Wp PV Panel, wiring control
  • Soluz retains ownership
  • Provides Maintenance Repair

32
Case StudySchool LightingHonduras
  • Soluz Retains Ownership
  • Provides Maintenance
  • System may be relocated
  • Previous 20 Home Installations
  • Monthly Fee for Service
  • Includes Maintenance Repair
  • Full Cost Recovery
  • Soluz Retains Ownership

33
CONCLUSIONS
  • MUST HAVE A SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE
  • MUST GENERATE OPERATING FUNDS
  • HEALTH EDUCATION ARE NOT INCOME GENERATORS
  • HEALTH EDUCATION ARE CRITICAL TO COMMUNITY
    DEVELOPMENT

34
CONCLUSIONS
  • HEALTH EDUCATION ARE DONOR DRIVEN
  • DONOR PROGRAMS HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL TO FAIL
    UNDERMINE SUSTAINABLE ACTIVITIES
  • COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE SYMBIOTIC
