Solar Agro-Processing Power Stations
Village Infrastructure Angels
Agro-processing mills powered with solar energy.
The solar mills, developed and distributed by Village Infrastructure Angels (VIA), are milling systems powered by solar energy. The solar power milling stations are intended to work in off-grid rural communities, where agro-processors need to walk several miles to the nearest mill or have to process their produce by hand. The mills are provided by leasing, and women entrepreneurs are especially encouraged to run the solar agro-processing stations. The mills are monitored remotely via IoT technology to track energy consumption and charge the batteries.
Village Infrastructure Angels was founded in 2012 in the United Kingdom and currently operates in the UK, Australia, and Vanuatu.
