Vaudreuil, Haiti
In late 2013, Mamababy Haiti (mamababyhaiti.org), a non-profit that runs a birthing center on the outskirts of Cap-Hatien, contacted NATiVE Solar simply requesting a feasibility study for a solar installation. The birthing center was not tied to the grid. The entire facility was powered by a small gas generator, and they could only afford to fire it up for 2 hours a day – just long enough to run the water pump to fill their roof-top water holding tank.
As NATiVE Solar began speaking with its employees and vendors, this feasibility study turned into a charitable project. Money and materials were raised to install an off-grid 3kW system!
