UB Solar Panel Handing Over Ceremony | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Last week, the University of Belize had the handing over ceremony for the solar panel project.  The project was funded by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency and cost ten million dollars. 

 

"In effect, solar power technology can allow Belize to move beyond the fossil fuel conundrum and open new avenues for creating opportunities for Belizeans.  For the University of Belize, we welcome an opportunity to play a role in the development of an applied science tradition within the University that will prepare our students for the future and allow our faculty to pursue careers in the field of alternative energy technology.  I would like to personally thank the Japan International Cooperation Agency for the
resources and the opportunity that has been offeredto strengthen the role of the University as a source of knowledge production thatcan help to propel Belize in a new direction."
