Anacostia Youth Build Solar Panels for Haiti

WDC Solar and ARCH Training Center in Washington D.C. have collaborated their abilities in Solar Power and Skills Training to bring much needed solar power to Haiti by building 5 portable solar panel systems, or 'solar suitcases'.  During the week of March 1st, these two organizations are producing solar suitcases that will travel to Haiti where they will be easily assembled to deliver immediate power to hospitals, orphanages and immediate care facilities. 

WDC Solar and ARCH Training Center are partners in bringing the first Solar Manufacturing Plant to D.C. and are currently building in Ward 8, Anacostia where both organizations are headquartered.  The actual facility is located at Shannon Place, SE DC.  For more information, see the press release below.
