Aurore in Ladakh

In the summer of 2005 again one of Aurore's teammembers went up to Ladakh.

The Jamyang Ling school in Reru and Loter Gatsel school in Thangseo were re-visited.
At Jamyang Ling school 4 new solar panels were added to the already existing solar PV plants, situated on the hostel and the teacher's quarters.
Solar is definitely having an positive impact here on the quality of life of the schoolkids!

Previously, in 2002, one of Aurore's teammembers was seconded to the Tata BP solar office in Leh, Ladakh, to manage a LREDA (Ladakh Renewable Energy Development Agency) project.

Aurore in Auroville

AURORE is located in the beautiful international township of Auroville, in Tamil Nadu state, South India, not far from Pondicherry.

Inside Auroville we design, install and maintain solar PV as well as solar thermal (i.e. solar hot water) systems. We work with single-light solar lanterns to solar PV installations of several kiloWatts.

As an example, Aurore was responsible for the installation and maintenance of the Auroville Matrimandir 36.6 kWp solar PV power plant, which was commissioned in 1997. At that time it was the largest solar power plant in South India.
