The project represents a continuation of an ongoing Solar map project for Mauritius and will serve as a platform where the public in general can have access to high resolution time series and spatially-resolved solar radiation and PV system performance data.

• ·       EDU ABCM Capacity Building on Student-Centered Energy Education in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mauritius and Mozambique. The present project aims to contribute to both modernize higher education and mitigate climate effects from energy services.
