The computer labs in all 20 public elementary and high schools in the municipality of Sual in Pangasinan are now powered by solar energy after the installation of on-grid solar energy systems was completed through a program funded by TeaM Energy and TeaM Energy Foundation Inc. (TEFI), in partnership with the Sual local government and the Department of Education (DepEd).
"All 22 computer labs in the 20 public schools in Sual are equipped with solar power systems capable of powering the computer systems of these schools. This should result in significant savings in their electric bills," said Ma. Teresa Lopez, TEFI vice president. "We would like to thank Sual Mayor Liseldo "Dong" Calugay for helping us make this project possible," she added.
