Desing considerations 2

I feel better if I post my own thoughts about the desing here, not just commenting the previous.

1) we shouldn't "get stuck" with the technical specifications; the truth is that flexible solar panels aren't that efficient at this point as the traditional ones (solar panels).
But most likely the situation with this will change
while the development of the manufacturing technology of FLEXIBLE panels proceeds.
Personally I feel that we were instructed to build a panel of 150w in order to understand the scale of this project, approximately HOW big the flexible solar panel solution should be.


2) the biggest benefits that the FLEXIBLE sola
r panel have, are those when thinking about the logistics and installation. ESPECIALLY the installation is our concern; how to build a solar panel solution cost-effective way, from materials found from the area so that it is easily istalled to support the villages infrastucture.

3) Yes, the secondary services/solutions are vital. As can be seen what is really going on with the actual NSN Village Phone project is that they are adding secondary mobil services/solutions that are important to the villagers.
Our services/solutions most likely should b
e something more concrete/tangible; meaning water purification, lighting solutions, etc...

4) as can see from the previous text by Tizuzu, there are already lot of models how to use FLEXIBLE solar panels in developed countries.
BUT, how to build a solution that is not that expensive and can be used in developing countries?
