Solar power in Peru
High in the Peruvian Andes, in a house made of mud and straw, the Quispe family live in a single room. In addition to freezing winters and summer droughts, the family contends with a complete lack of sanitation, running water or electricity. In these remote villages, electricity is essential for development, but a household solar system with battery storage can easily provide enough electricity to power two lights and a radio. This video shows how the Quispe family’s life has changed since electricity came to their home via a solar panel, installed with the help of UK-based charity Practical Action.
