Interesting. It's the world's largest solar laptop installation. Christoph Derndorfer writes, "Recently I spoke with Laura Hosman, one of the project's leads and an assistant professor at IIT, about another very interesting power-related project her students have been working on. In the process she also mentioned the following 12 minute video which provides a great overview of their project in Lascahobas and is well worth watching." There's an interesting bit about the way it goes directly from DC to DC, preventing what would normally be a 30 percent loss of energy. Also discussions about how hard it was to mount solar panels to a tin roof. Watch the end of the video explaining how the installation was also turned into practical learning in solar energy for the students.
