REW

REW is a facility set up for Barefoot solar engineers in their villages where they can easily carry out testing, maintenance, repair and production work. An REW acts as a mini-power plant that produces 320W per hour therefore it can also be used by the community for educational or social activities like watching television. REWs are important for sustaining solar electrifications in remote rural communities.
