Solar agro-processing

Hi all,

 

To complement the overwhelming focus on lighting, phone charging and other consumer-focused low power end uses that currently constitutes the off-grid solar industry now, we have developed a range of solar agro-processing mills as community-scale infrastructure that can help women save hundreds of hours of manual labour and do something more productive with their time. A short video showing some of these mills, a solar corn sheller and flour mill, can be seen at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS60hV7QV0s&feature=youtu.be

 

This solar mill can also be used as the base of a solar minigrid or solar charging station to provide non-milling services as well.

 

Please email me at stewart@villageinfrastructure.org if this is of further interest.

 

Warm regards,

Stewart Craine
