Survey of Renewable Energy systems along the Khumbu Trail en route from Lukla to Mount Everest PART 3

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


#12 Jorsalle Village, Everest Guest House. 40 Watt Thin Film PV, but battery not working. Owner tells us, "but now we have micro-hydro electricity so we only need the PV when there are water shortages in dry seasons." Jorsalle, at 2775 meters, is the last village to Namche Bazaar, which is 3 hours away if walking briskly.




# 13 The Reasonable Restaurant: A low cost place where the porters tend to eat. Ronjita shows us a "self-made" DIY hybrid wood burning stove heater for hot water using a 30 liter tank.
