The sun's energy is a renewable, readily available and clean energy source and it does not generate harmful pollution as do coal-fired power-plants. Drawing on this natural power source, the Siyakhana project is able to maintain a high-tech office completely off-grid that functions as follows:

• A solar cooker is used to prepare herbal infusions and to heat meals.
• The site's office equipment (laptop, cellphone, printer and lights) is powered by a Photovoltaic system supplied by Flexopower. This system converts sunlight into electrical energy which is stored in a battery and converted into the appropriate current and voltage by an inverter.
