CREST selected an energy efcient
cooling unit utilizing R290, a non-toxic
refrigerant grade propane with low-
global warming potential. The chest
freezer is powered by a 660W solar PV
rooftop system. The chest freezer
produces ice used by community
members to preserve their daily catch.
The sh lasts longer, raising the
families' income.

Basic solar home systems
transform lives of sherfolk
families

Twenty (20) unelectried small
sherfolk families in the coastal
barangays of Cagbalete in Mauban and
Ibabang Polo in Pagbilao received basic
solar home systems from the two
organizations. The solar home systems
have the capacity to power two LED
lights for 10-12 hours and charge
mobile phones and other small DC
devices such as DC fans. Community
leaders assisted the staff and
volunteers of CREST and Tanggol
Kalikasan in roof mounting the solar
panels and wiring of the electrical
systems inside the house.
