As we continue our fight against poverty, Caltec Solar is committed to ensuring that Healthcare isn't left in the dark, without access to light and power. We believe that solar power has a vital role to play in helping solve this problem.

Renewable energy offers medical centers efficient, low-cost, reliable, and independent sources of electricity that have the potential to significantly expand and improve health care access and delivery where power is a problem. Small photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems are already widely in use across Africa, and help health workers provide care and diagnoses, charge cell phones for communication, and safeguard vaccines and other medications in portable cooler units. Larger PV solar arrays are used to power a range of essential devices, including lights, water pumps, phones, and refrigerators, as well as laboratory equipment and a host of vital medical devices...
