OFF-GRID: RENEWABLE ENERGY DIY (DO IT YOURSELF) FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT BEZ TĪKLA: Atjaunojamā enerģija - DARI PATS lauku attīstībai

The target group is individual rural homesteads and small farmers. The objective of the project has been to collect and further explore appropriate renewable energy technology solutions and develop physical prototypes and an open license manual to promote decentralized renewable energy generation opportunities. The project involved the installation and demonstration of alternative technologies in selected farms and practical workshops in which experts trained an interested rural audience on self-making and installing technologies such as solar heat panels, solar PV panels, and other related equipment capable of generating energy as a part of energy-active rural houses. The wide development of practical handbooks and a diversity of communication channels were applied. There has been good interest from the target audience.
