Our first very small solar array was set up recently on our base on the Curieuse Island in the Seychelles. This solar array will capture and turn the sunlight into another form of energy. It can be used to to provide electricity to houses and also for heating water. Solar panels will work very efficiently in the Seychelles with the year round tropical climate. Although we are in the early days with regards to creating our dream carbon neutral base progression has been made thanks to donations. Solar panels are a relatively expensive commodity especially in Africa. We also hope to start planting flowers, vegetables and possible trees soon as this is a very effective way to reduce carbon.
