With eight 'Solar2World' modules of 160 Watt output each (total output: 1.3 kWp) SolarWorld AG supports an aids orphanage in the African Republic of Malawi. The plant will be constructed in a remote village in the vicinity of Lake Malawi. There are more than 500 aids orphans living in the village. These children are often themselves infected with the AIDS immune deficiency. The project partner is the Liebenzeller Mission, a non-profit organization with headquarters in Bad Liebenzell in the Black Forest. This organization has launched a village program that promotes the power and water supply, medical services as well as the education of young people. Solar power is used for lighting purposes, to drive deep well water pumps, to supply water and to operate refrigerators for the expert storage of drugs. Alternatively, the supply of power by way of auxiliary power units would have required the transportation of the necessary fuel over several hundred kilometers. In this 'Solar2World' project weather data provided by the US space agency NASA were made available with the help of which the attainable output per module on the spot was calculated. In this context the rainy season is no problem – daylight and battery performance are sufficient to keep up continuous operation.

In Kenia SolarWorld AG supports two secondary schools in a potable water project. The schools are located close to the town of Kisumu which is about 400 km away from Nairobi and together they account for more than 2,000 pupils. With the help of solar-driven water pumps the pupils will be supplied with clean and healthy water in the future. At the moment the water received from the surrounding hills is burdened by contaminations. The output of the solar power plant amounts to 1.5 kWp.

In cooperation with the Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst (DED = German Development Service) the company lends solar support to a computer training center in Lira in Northern Uganda. There the teachers and students have the possibility to be trained in computer activities and to use the Internat as a knowledge and further education medium. In the last few decades the North of Uganda has suffered under armed conflicts – all the more important are the training centers in which young people are offered a new perspective on their life and their job. Because of the uncertain energy supply situation via the Ugandan power grid solar power contributes to the independence of the training centers from local power failures and makes continuous work on the computers possible. Over and above this the teachers and the students get to know the way solar power works and how it is used. The output of the solar power modules made available amounts to 3 kWp.

In the Komsberg Wilderness National Park in South Africa (Karoo region, Northern Cape) a solar water pumping project was supported in cooperation with the South African environmental protection organization 'Wildlife For All Trust'. The Komsberg Wilderness National Park accommodates some very rare plant species and five different eagle populations. The solar water pumping project pursues the objective of resettling different grass species in the National Park that are of great importance to the local animal world and plant species. The project has a solar power output of 1 kWp.

In October 2007 we handed over the first non-profit Sun TV Station to the 'John Wesley Community Center' in Etwatwa on the outskirts of Johannesburg. This was the kick-off to the installation of further solar-operated TV sets in rural regions and at social foci in the conurbations of South Africa. In public places we will – in coordination with the responsible local authorities – install solar receiver stations equipped with satellite connections and present them as donations. In this way many people are to be given access to modern media information for the first time. The target of the initiative of SolarWorld AG is to bring the 2010 Football World Cup free of charge to the people by way of solar-operated 'Public Viewing' facilities. The facilities will be equipped with a DVD player in order to give the community the opportunity to use training and educational offers via TV both before and after the World Cup.
