In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a solar power project is now
providing electricity to the cities poorest homes. Before the solar power
project, families were buying individual propone tanks to cook their food and
heat their water. Can you imagine, when you walk out to your barbeque and turn
your propane on, if you only had that to not only cook your meals but also heat
your water??? This method is expensive and can be up to six times more costly
than using the cities gas lines. This project has placed 42 solar water heaters
on the rooftops of homes, providing a low-cost solution and raising awareness
to renewable energy.
The quality life improvement this project alone is creating
is inspiring. For families who have been heating water on the stove and then
bringing that into the bathroom to now turning on the faucet and having
solar-powered hot water on demand is life changing for these families. This is
such a significant change and improvement in quality of life to these families.
