This meant that the entire project planning, production and logistics had to be implemented within 5 months. This was a major challenge for the entire team, as only a first prototype had been built in Mali up to that point. The dismantling and transportation of the Solartainer was filmed in Hainburg in July and filming began in Amaloul in September. The footage was used to produce the ZDF documentary: the solar energy makers. At the end of the project, we could look back with pride, because we had achieved what we thought was impossible. True to the motto: WE DO. the first community in Niger was electrified with Solarstorm.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d4c2a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8d4c2a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b5e872e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b5e872e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54e17cf\" data-id=\"54e17cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ea26ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_text\" data-id=\"2ea26ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_text.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"kyl_text is-left\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t                <h3 class=\"headline\">\n\t\t\t\tAnd How Do Things Look Today?            <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>A few years later, the plant is still standing.

Amaloul is located in a region where people often have to contend with extreme weather events.\u00a0<\/p><p>For this reason, we occasionally had technical problems with the radio connection in the ImpactSite smart meter system, as strong winds damaged one of our antennas. We were able to successfully repair the antenna and further develop the robustness of our technology. The signals from the smart meters were transmitted again without any problems and the electricity grid could be used without interruption. The team built a kind of radio tower to increase the transmission power in future.<\/p>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c98d72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4c98d72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c37ddb elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c37ddb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-47d7b72\" data-id=\"47d7b72\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e26023 elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium\" data-id=\"9e26023\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"kyl_image_teaser_slant_medium\">\n            <div class=\"container is-right\">\n                <div class=\"wrapper-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africagreentec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8604-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8604\" title=\"IMG_8604\" class=\"image calc-slant calc-slant-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"wrapper-text\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The air conditioning system in the Solartainer was also adapted as part of the further development of our systems, as extreme temperatures prevail on the edge of the Sahara and our advanced cooling system can also prove effective here. In addition, hungry goats challenged the Africa GreenTec employees' ability to improvise. A wall had to be built so that the goats could no longer nibble on the cables. Due to the rainy season, whose torrential downpours can exert enormous forces, additional ditches were dug to allow the water to drain away.<\/p><p>These challenges were very important in order to
