 systems offer the opportunity to provide electricity to communities that d

 l-intentioned systems being installed and then not being sustained. This l
 eads to many solar panels not contributing to electricity production in th
 ese remote communities. In this talk\, we will present strategies based on
  our experiences in the field to make solar electric systems long term sus
 tainable so that communities can continue to receive the benefits of elect
 ricity for the long term. &nbsp\;</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>10am - 1
