In 2019 I got the chance to fly halfway across the world and spend 6 weeks in Egypt as a student volunteer as part of NUS AIESEC.
I learnt how to size a solar system based on expected solar irradiance, choose an appropriate inverter and battery configuration, and drill a well bore in search of water.
As a team of 15, we designed, transported and installed a 150kW 90-panel solar array to power submersible pumps in the Sahara desert for a farmer to irrigate his crops
