The project began with basic training about photovoltaic energy systems and electrical systems in general, including the supply of technical documentation (laminated to be durable in wet conditions).
The Karen medical clinics sent workers to participate in the project. They had to learn how to assemble the solar panels and their metal braces; to build a structure for the panels so they catch the sun; to assemble the system's related charge controller; and to install all related wiring. Once they return to their clinics, they will be on their own.
Each clinic was also provided with a tool box to complete and maintain the energy systems.
