April 15, 2012: Solarised Farm (Cat Spring, TX)

Since inception, Solar Jooce has followed a deliberate plan to provide solar for Nigerians at the base of the pyramid (BoP). This is with a view to spurring development by beginning at the grass root level. From our tour of rural communities across all 36 states of the country (May 2010), to matching solar appliance donors with villages in need, and on to a hands-on tour of a solar fabricating plant in rural Cameroun - central Africa (July 2011), Solar Jooce further enhanced its rural solar implementation strategy with a learning session at a village animal farm in Cat Spring, Texas (USA). The Animal Farm is a 17-acre permaculture centre that runs largely on solar. Slowly and steadily, Solar Jooce is so very near its objective of assembling a home grown solar solution for the Nigerian masses. Ultimately, we just want to help move the human development index (HDI) needle in a positive direction. What a journey.
