Introduction
For this trip, we sent four undergraduate students to Haiti to install a solar photovoltaic system in a school outside of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti.
We learned a lot, and not just about how to install a small solar array! Being immersed in the language, culture, customs, as well as the other projects being carried out by the Haiti Empowerment Project for one week taught us so much more than we could have ever imagined.
We traveled to Haiti with the Haiti Empowerment Project. A main goal of ours is to work with and empower the Haitians to do great things themselves and just use us as a tool. We worked with students from University Caraibe, University Episcapal, and the Haitian State University, sharing the design and knowledge of solar energy among students. This project gave all involved students a hands on experience working with the cutting edge technology of solar panels and photovoltaic system design.
