      Could you please provide information regarding the infrastructure visible in the Lower Camp 360-degree view, which appears to include solar panels, a battery bank, a backup generator and the Starlink system.
      Specifically, I am interested in understanding how this infrastructure was affected by the flooding that followed the cyclone. Are these systems still operational and serviceable?
      Additionally, could you confirm whether the solar panels installed at this location are monocrystalline or polycrystalline, and provide an approximate age of the infrastructure? Thankyou

          Hi Krystle,

          The ground level at the Lower camp is much lower compare to upper camp. This inundation to lower camp resulted in water up to 4 to 5 ft in all the houses during the flooding. Most of the the infrastructure is not serviceable at this point and no one is staying at the Lower Camp.

          We are still waiting on information regarding the solar panels materials and infrastructure.

          Kind regards,
          Evelyn
