It is estimated that at least 20% of all homes in East Timor - about 40,000 - will never be connected to the electricity grid. Alternative Technology Association will provide low cost solar lighting for East Timorese homes that have no electricity. The assembly, installation and maintenance of the solar lighting systems will form the basis of a sustainable industry in East Timor, with maintenance of the systems managed under a community controlled and funded model. Over two years, Alternative Technology Association will train 75 village-based installers and maintenance technicians, install 2000 systems, and deliver 60 kW of solar energy to 12,000 people.
