Neglected RE systems

A large number of renewable energy projects in the developing countries fail within a very short time after they were commissioned with much fanfare and publicity. The root cause of this failure is lack of training and maintenance- and at times sheer neglect as is evident form the photo above (courtesy Sandeep). Sadly, this is not an isolated case - you can find similar pictures all over the world.Most of the system parts are usable but need a renewed push from the governments and donors toward raining and capacity building in these remote areas.
