That's the number I need. Now we can run some very rough estimates. If we say 5W/XO, 10h/day, 13,700 XOs, that comes to 700 kWh daily at 60 locations, or a bit over 10 kWh each. Now I can check what that comes to in solar panels or whatever, and we can think about storage overnight for early morning charging. > ~230 students is expected (though I have no idea whether > this will be equally distributed over the schools...) > >>>> What do they need powered besides laptops?
