"Solar cold storage helps African farmers cut losses and reach global markets"
#Africa #Energy #Renewables #SolarPower

Solar-powered cold storage is boosting incomes for African farmers
Kenyan smallholder farmers are reducing post-harvest losses and accessing global export markets through a pay-per-use solar cold storage model pioneered by Nairobi-based company SoKo Fresh. Its pay-per-use approach charges farmers based on pounds stored, part of a trend in Africa toward using solar-powered cold storage to help prevent one of agriculture’s most persistent problems: food spoilage. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that up to 40% of food produced in Africa is lost …

In and of itself these bills are a good thing, but it seems bad that that we're essentially letting landlords off the hook and expecting tenants to make this investment in solar power. It should be treated like other appliances, such as ovens and refrigerators, that we expect landlords to provide. Furthermore, it's not apparent that this legislation forces landlords (or HOAs for that matter) to allow for these systems to be installed.

The total #SolarEclipse on 12 August will be a low affair both for totality watchers in Spain (let alone Mallorca) and for maximum partiality watchers in Central Europe, so making sure you'll have a free horizon for solar elevations below 10° in the right azimuth is essential. And now is the time to test the location you have in mind as on the evening of 12 August the declination of the Sun will be 14°47' while on April 29 and 30 it will be 14°38' and 14°56', respectively, i.e. 9 arc minutes or 1/3 solar diameter lower or higher. So if you see the low Sun both today and tomorrow (and don't expect any more vegetation or buildings to materialize in the next 3 1/2 months) you can be sure that you can also see the totally or maximally eclipsed Sun on 12 August. (This dress rehearsal idea has already been promoted - e.g. in https://www.rac1.cat/meteo/20260428/341109/dimecres-pots-anticipar-gran-eclipsi-agost-lloc-veura-dia.html - in Spain.)
