Grameen Shakti, Bangladesh, Micro-finance solar home systems - Ashden Award winner

[pabnaful]

banks are never about helping people. it's about establishing debt based economic system. that's why the west decided to reward Dr. Yunus with noble prize.

With all the news recently about sunspots and solar flares I was wondering if these pose any risk to solar power systems?

[AshdenAwards]

@SunGreenSolarEnergy I don't think it would affect off-grid systems. The effects are more noticable on the grid, as the length of the power lines is sufficient for large voltages to be generated as the Earth's magnetic field fluctuates.
