O BMI (Instituto Melo Cordeiro), which works with cultural and educational projects in the afternoon Zone of children and teenagers in Ferraz de Vasconcelos (SP), will inaugurate a solar energy system with the aim of bringing the concepts of sustainability and clean energy closer to students and their families.
The photovoltaic plant has already been installed and will be inaugurated next Monday (11), consisting of 15 solar panels, with a peak power of 445 W, and three 1,6 kW inverters.
The investment will be just under R$20, with an estimated savings of almost R$10 per year. In other words, the system has a payback (investment return time) of less than two years.
The amount to be saved will be used to strengthen the services offered by the Melo Cordeiro Institute, which serves around 150 children in the city, with cultural, socio-emotional, environmental and social activities.
All equipment and installation were donated by the distributor. Solar Color. The project has institutional support from City Hall of Ferraz de Vasconcelos and the ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association).
The inauguration event of the new plant will be attended by figures such as the mayor of Ferraz dos Vasconcelos, Priscila Gambale (Podemos), the executive president of ABSOLAR, Rodrigo Sauaia, the CEO of CorSolar, Bruno Reis, and the Director of Institutional Relations of the Melo Cordeiro Group, Bruno Catta Preta.

An answer
It's inspiring to see the Melo Cordeiro Institute using solar energy to teach sustainability to children and teenagers. I'm curious to know how the students and their families will be involved in the project's practical activities. Will there be workshops or activities that allow them to understand firsthand how clean energy works?
