hi Suhas here.Well regarding the suggestion on windmill…i would say that it is more economical but defintely a gamble. Wind was quite unpredictable, noticably strong only during the interminent railfall, otherwise mostly normal. Thats why we couldnt depend on windmill. Whereas with solar energy, we are sure of 365days of electricity…though initial investment is high.

actually..we already go through some discussions about all aspects for this solar powered electricity project.the place is not windy, as for hidro also too big for us to handle it and it is not the most suitable according to the condition there. we’ll try our best to give the best for this project and so the villagers. we had arranged some tutorial or practical lesson for them on how to repair it and some villagers will be take care of it.tq svclientrace for your suggestion

if that place is windy,why dont install wind mill instead of solar panel. as we know solar panels use more money rather than wind mill..and the risk being stolen can be reduce moretake lesson from what happened in terengganu where goverment help them by installing solar panel but what happen the solar panel was damaged because it is really fragile and some being stolen.
