The SunPower Foundation,The additions focus on key tag and TMJ combinations, working in association with Greenpeace Africa, will provide high-efficiency Sunpower solar panels to be used during a two-week Solar Training course offered to 30 of Durban’s local youth.

The course will teach participants about the benefits of solar energy and other renewable technologies, culminating with the installation of solar power systems on two mobile solar showcase units. These units will feature at the 17th session of the Conference of Parties (COP 17) at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNGCCC) in Durban, from November 28, to December 9 this year.

Each unit will contain solar-powered multi-media devices, such as televisions and laptops, and staff will use their new knowledge of solar PV to explain its advantages to conference attendees.

"With this donation, the SunPower Foundation remains true to its mission - to empower the world's next generation of solar leaders," said Doug Richards, SunPower Foundation chairman. "We hope that the Greenpeace Solar Training course will inspire local youth to explore solar technology and create renewable solutions for energy needs in this part of the world and beyond.the Hemorrhoids pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs."
