SolarWorld is donating the 10 kilowatts of solar equipment through its Solar2World programme, which provides equipment for off-grid rural solar projects in the developing world. In the summer of 2009, the Solar2World programme gave more than 10 kilowatts in modules to a clinic in a remote Haitian village.
 

Co-founder of SunEnergy Power International, Walt Ratterman, directed the clinic project and has been missing in Haiti since the earthquake on 12 Jan. Jean Jacques Sylvain, principal of longtime SolarWorld distributor Green Energy Solutions, is helping to search for him. US coordinator of the Solar2World programme and marketing manager for SolarWorld, Paul Dailey said: “Walt is a hero to many of us in the solar industry. We're all pulling for him and praying he is found soon.”
