It has been four weeks since the opening ceremony. We can look back on a successful and intensive time. The planning of the Shop on the project site is in progress – soon we are going to sell solar produced products like babyfood, dried fruits and roasted peanuts.
The Solar Association Tiloo opening ceremony was a big success. With the sun shining all day long the weather was perfect for officially opening the solar project center in Latriya.
At its General Assembly on the 24th of March 2017, the Solar Association Tiloo approved of the Tiloo Yearly Report 2016 which can be downloaded here (in German only).
