Hello everyone ☀️☀️☀️ This is your friend Khaled from Rafah, #Gaza Strip, #Palestine. How are you doing today? How was your day? I hope you’re well and the sun shines over your head, warms your heart and gives you a smile!

Today I’d like to talk to you about electricity in Gaza, and solar panels!

Did you know that Gaza used to have the highest density of rooftop solar panels in the world, before the current genocidal massacre? It’s truly a remarkable place.

Ever since learning about Solar Power in my 1964 Weekly Reader, I have dreamt of this day. The Solar Panels are on the roof and I am one excited Old Coot. #solar #solarpower #solarpanels #sun #sunworshiper #sunworshipers #energy #cleanenergy #solarenergy #carbonfootprint

This feels like a mastodon thing - there is a UK hospital trust trying to get rid of 132 used solar panels from demolished buildings. Schuco MPE 190 MS 06, tested in 2023 at 89% original capacity. No mountings or inverters, believe would be free for collection only from the Midlands. If anyone has a project or community group that would benefit message me for contact #solar #solarpanels @bloor @revk ?

A rooftop solar installation. Behind the roof rages a blazing forest fire. Reflected in the solar panels is the poop emoji from the cover of my book 'Enshittification,' which has angry eyebrows and a black, grawlix-filled bar across its mouth."

@pluralistic Thank you for helping solar power get to people. As you share, the fossil fuel and technology sectors are trying to add choke points to solar power systems. #solar, #solarpunk, #offgridsolar, #balconysolar, #growyourown, #solarpower, #solarpanels

Africa Is Buying a Record Number of Chinese #SolarPanels - https://www.wired.com/story/african-imports-of-chinese-solar-panels-increase/ "Chad has imported enough solar panels to replace their country’s entire current power generation capacity." amazingly good news #renewables
