On July 4, JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China) announced that it has donated 5 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to a local orphanage and clinic with children affected by HIV/AIDS.
JinkoSolar provided PV panels to Healthcare Volunteer Uganda (HVU), a Uganda-based NGO providing patients with comprehensive treatment for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases.
According to JinkoSolar, the PV system will generate clean energy for HVU’s offices, clinics and dormitories. Currently, the clinic’s only source for generating electricity came from costly, polluting and unreliable diesel generators.
The clinic expects to serve over 10 thousand rural villagers in the surrounding area.
“Solar power is recognized as a clean energy resource with the potential to help the most vulnerable,” JinkoSolar Chairman Xiande Li said in a statement. “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to make a contribution to this meaningful project and to see that our solar panels have a direct impact on local communities in need.”
