Survey of Renewable Energy systems along the Khumbu Trail en route from Lukla to Mount Everest PART 8

PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE UNFINISHED POSTS AS I ASSEMBLE MY NOTES AND COMPILE RELEVANT PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE SURVEY.


#25 Hotel on Yonder Hill with 3 Vacuum Tube Sollar Hot water systems. far left of the GPS mark. Pics 7360 and 7359



































#26 Pokhara, Losasa. Village of PV panels; more than 8 50 Watt panels are visible, along with a Yak and a 100 watt panel. Also a greenhouses.






























































































#27 Tasinga Post, 75 W Polycrystalline





#28 Cozy Garden Restaurant. Sign reads, "Our facilities: Varieties of Food and Beverages, Comfort Rooms, Warm Dining, solar Hot Shower, Toilet Inside, Horse on Rent."
 They have two tiny PV panels on the roof of a shed next door; we could find no evidence of the solar hot water system. Perhaps it had been removed because of breakage?
