Solar Power Companies Donating Money and Equipment to Help Japan’s Tsunami Sufferers
Like so many others that have been stunned by the effects of the recent earthquake, aftershocks, and tsunami that have hammered Japan, many in the solar industry have felt a need to contribute to the relief efforts.
DynGlobal said that it will support “the victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan by providing solar powered generators.” The self-contained mobile solar generators will be able to operate 24 hours-a-day.
DynGlobal said its waterproof 12-volt solar generators will be able to power most life-sustaining electrical equipment, including the company’s water purification systems, small medical devices, and mini-refrigerators, as well as rechargeable telephones, radios, cameras, televisions, and computers. The company will work closely with the U.S. military, non-profits, and foreign agencies.
On the financing side, MAGE SOLAR has just established a disaster relief fund that has raised $35,000 so far. Sylvia Minton, senior vice president of corporate affairs, is managing fund raising and relief efforts.
