In the coming days we will try to update this page.

The team has taken up the challenge of building the first solar-reflector which we hope will be followed by many others making up the solar-refector park to power up the kitchen.

It is not a new concept and is well documented on the website of solare-bruecke .

On this website you can see how a huge solar park powers a conference center in India.
