Interesting idea, Helene.Maintainence of solar infrastructure in public places is an issue though. Would it not be better to promote awareness about solar energy *in* saligao itself? By chance, I also ran into the Mumbai-based Hykon India http://www.hykonindia.com which has advertised in the December 2007 of the Saligao parish bulletin, offering solar water heaters, solar home lighting systems, inverters, street lighting, and solar power plants. For those interested, the local dealers are Gama Trading at Cottula (2278678) and Arnold Sequeira (2278604). As usual, apply due diligence before taking a decision...
The government-run Department of Science, Technology and Environment, located opposite the Saligao Seminary, also has its own options. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Michael M 'DSouza (Director/Jt Secretary) or Dr JOseph S Rauto de Souza (Chief Scientist and Member Secretary) on phone 2407186 or 2407187 or EPABX 2407189.
