Emergency Portable Solar Panel Workshop A Success
For a hot week in August folks gathered in DeRidder, LA to learn and build portable solar units to be used both in blue skies and in disaster situations. Rev. Jerry Egbert and Boksoon Egbert hosted a crew of eager learners from across the coast. At the end of the week, one complete unit was taken away on the back of a pickup truck and delivered to Grand Bayou.
