IIT students develop solar powered charging system to help power up schools in Haiti

Haiti, being hit by a natural disaster that literally shook the land by its roots, is yet recovering from its nightmares, and people from all over the world are coming forward with aide, at times in the form of green and eco-friendly designs and solutions that could help the people of Haiti recuperate. One such solution was put for by the students of IIT, the Illinois Institute of Technology, who’ve developed solar charging systems particularly meant for schools in Haiti. The grid in Haiti was affected on a large scale due to the earthquake and with electricity lines snapped, accessing electricity isn’t all that easy. The solar systems work as a great alternative that create renewable energy that could help pull back the education system that has fallen to bits.

The students of IIT are indeed developing a green system for a good cause, and we applaud them on their effort to help the recovering Haiti stand back up on its feet.
