en.Wedoany.com Reported - The government of Río Negro province in Argentina has announced that the next phase of the "Energía en tu Hogar" (Energy in Your Home) program will install 2,500 home solar systems for remote rural families who cannot access the conventional power grid due to distance and terrain.

According to the provincial government report, maintenance work was completed in May on 508 households with installed photovoltaic systems, including inspection, repair, and equipment commissioning to ensure proper operation.

Meanwhile, technical teams are conducting final surveys of rural homes included in the new phase of the program. The goal is to expand safe electricity coverage in households far from urban centers, with systems designed to meet basic needs such as indoor and outdoor lighting, mobile phone charging, radio, and communication equipment.

Each kit includes two to three photovoltaic solar panels, support structures, a charge controller, batteries, a meter box with safety protection, and 12-volt indoor installation components, as well as low-power LED lights, USB ports for mobile phone charging, switches, and sockets.

According to the provincial government when announcing the program in May, it is funded by provincial resources, with each system valued at approximately $3,500.

These systems can supply power at night or on cloudy days through battery storage, but are not intended for high-power appliances such as electric stoves, electric kettles, refrigerators, satellite internet antennas, or converters.
