Lagos, Nigeria – 08/09/06 A mechanical engineer by education, but now in ICT business development and marketing. My final year project was Solar Energy related, and there is no where in the world where the people are fed up with the Grid supply as Nigeria. Developing applications and solutions for the informal sector is my passion. Thank you for the creation of this Club

Calitzdorp, Western Cape, South Africa -- I live in an area were there are still lots of people who still don't have electricity and use candle light and wood stoves. We have sunlight almost 365 days a year and temperatures as high as 45'c.Solar panels is just too expensive for these people and just not practical.

Namibia – 08/04/09 www.desertelephant.org  I have been forever experimenting with wind and solar energy out in the namib desert, and have built a few very efficient PMG wind generators. I run a project helping farmers coping with elephant-human conflict issues, and energy needs for pumping water and electric fences is always a major problem. This year I started playing with an old 9ft diameter satellite dish lined with reflective film of plastic, and am generating heat enough to warp 2mm steel plate! I started building a heat exchanger coupled to a pressure vessel, but have not tested it yet, as I was worried about the pressure control and the condensing part of the system (I have no background in any of these matters, I am a conservationist!)

   never before discovering your site have i found any information on using this type of power for small-unit electricity generation, so now i am really keen and excited to resume my project!...
