Solar PV Home Systems for Remote Desert Communities.

Sanghar (Sindh) and beyond is a harsh and hostile area from the point of view of dwelling. Although the people living in this area are very hardy and ingenious, still day to day life here is nothing short of a continuous challenge. Add to this the unavailability of grid electricity and we have what is know as Baqar Village. The different adjoining villages are right in the middle of a large desert.

Sharif International was again the choice of multinational NGOs to provide small solar home systems to these communities.

Hummer Wind Turbine Turns on the Magic in Remote Bhoori Village.

Deep in the Creeks of Keti Bandar area is the fishing village of Bhoori. Far away from the grid and with no chance of any electricity in the near future, Hummer Wind Turbine has turned on the magic for the village folk. This 500 Watts turbine has been paired with two 125 Watts CentroSolar German solar modules to create the ideal solution.

Hummer Wind Turbines boast a rated wind speed of only 7-8 m/s and if the wind speed increases to 12 m/s then its power automatically doubles to 1kW! Due to this very feature and a robust design it only takes 3 hours for this Hummer Turbine to fully charge the battery bank that lights up 29 huts for 6 hours at least. The fishing community is over joyed by this new revolution in their lives that provides illumination and electricity to charge their mobiles etc.
