RENOGY Joins the
Jack Ma Foundation in Optimizing a Rural School’s Energy Management with
Solar Power. Students from
Zitong Elementary School in Chun’an County, Hangzhou City—one of five pilot
schools part of the Rural Boarding School Project founded by Jack Ma– will benefit from this program.
Renogy, a member of the Jack Ma Foundation, recently donated a 10kW solar power system to Zitong Elementary School and created a solar education center
for the students. With the help of the 10kW solar power system, Zitong
Elementary School will be able to generate energy through solar and manage it
with the Renogy Cloud platform. By using the new power system, it will significantly reduce the school’s electricity
costs and contribute to China’s sustainable development. Zitong Elementary School, above
The Solar Education Center built by Renogy will
encourage students to acquire basic solar knowledge through activities and
games. Renogy believes that the information learned and interest generated from
the center will contribute to the growth of careers in the renewable energy sector.
