The Smallbean team sent back some pictures from a recent trip to Tanzania. Thanks to MIT student Mario Bollini, who took the photos.
They were using one of our 15 Watt solar panels to power a lead acid battery (purchased locally) and the battery to charge an MSI laptop. You can see the charge controller in the picture.

Smallbean runs The Citizen Archivist Project which “teaches technology and computer skills integral for job creation and sustainable economic growth while documenting community life around the world.” You can learn more about them on their site, smallbean.org.
