Intel has carried out a case study on our Mobile Solar Computer Classroom.

Upgrading to Intel Classmate PCs.
August 29,2008:After testing Intel Classmate PCs with our existing solar system, we discovered that we would run 10 Classmate PCs which are more powerful computers, in place of the 5 PCs our Mobile Solar Computer Center had been running. We can now teach an entire grade in a single day. We are now running 15 Classmate PCs with no problems using the same solar system. Click here to see pictures of this project
