Sunlabob wins World Bank tender to install 12,000 Solar Home Systems in Cambodia

By Sunlabob Renewable Energy Ltd

In Mar 2011, Sunlabob Renewable Energy Ltd won an international tender for a World Bank financed procurement contract, handled locally by the Rural Electrification Office of the Department of Electricity (part of the Ministry of Energy and Mines), to supply and install 12,000 Solar Home Systems (30W and 50W), including spares, to seven provinces across Cambodia.

Solar Home Systems bring huge benefits to homes in developing countries which aren’t connected to the national electricity grid. Without the system, villagers have to use kerosene lamps for light. These lamps emit lots of carbon dioxide and harmful gases, and also contain flammable liquids that have more probability of causing burns and fires than any electric lighting source. Each year, many homes and even entire communities worldwide burn to the ground due to fires starting from toppled kerosene lamps.


The Solar Home Systems replace smoky, unsafe kerosene lamps with brighter light, allowing work, study and social activities after dark. They also power small electrical appliances like radios and cellphone chargers. Each Sunlabob Solar Home System meets international quality standards and comprises a solar panel, PV mounting structure, battery, battery box, charge controller, circuit breaker, and 2 lamps.

The installation will be carried out in collaboration with a local partner in Cambodia, with 7,200 SHS being installed by Jan 2012 and the remaining by Sep 2012. This operation covers more than 413 villages in remote areas across Cambodia where there are no proper roads.

All the good news for Cambodia are the initiatives by the outsiders.

The things the government of Cambodian can do are fuck, drink, eat, shit, rob, steal and kill. That's it.

វាជាការល្អណាស់សម្រាប់ពលរដ្ឋក្រីក្រខ្មែរ ដែល
មានបរទេសទៅជួយដាក់ សូឡាឱយនោៈ នេៈក៏
ដោយសាតែពួកគេឃើញវេទនាភ្នែកពេក។ ៨៥ភាគរយនៃពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរមានភាពក្រីក្រទូរទាំង
ប្រទេស ក្រនោៈមហាក្រគ្មានម្ហូបអាហា,គ្មាន
សំលៀកបំពាក់,គ្មានលុយកាក់,គ្មានថ្នាំសង្កូវ,គ្មានដីធ្លីធ្វើស្រែចម្ការនិងគ្មានផ្ទៈសម្បែងសមរំជាដើមគឺស្ទើរតែរស់មិនកើត។ ចំណែកពពួកអាកញ្ជៈយួន
មួយក្រុមនោៈវិញពួកវាស៊ីចាក់ច្រាស,ឡានទំនើប,
ផ្ទៈវីឡាថ្មីៗ ពួកវាមិនដែលខ្វល់អំពីជីវិតពលរដ្ឋ
ខ្មែរម្តងណាទេមានតែរកកលល្បិចសម្លាប់ខ្មែរថែម
ទៀត ដើម្បីបំពេញតែបំណងរបស់ចៅហ្វាយធំ
តែប៉ុណ្ណោៈ។ពពួកអាឆ្កែរឆ្កែរអាស្រកីដូងនេៈ ពួកវាគ្មានខួរហើយឥតចេៈខ្មាសបរទេសណាទេ។

If Cambodian can afford more off the grid electricity and Cambodia will be a much cleaner place!

Just to have enough juice for children to read a book and do their homework, watch TV, cooler, light up the house for dinner, power small appliances...maybe enough..
