Mission Thailand, Akha Church Solar Maintenance

On 31 March 2018, I visited Pang Luang, Thailand on mission work to maintain solar lighting at the Akha church. We met the Pastor Cai Ju Er who take cares of the village comprising of 23 families. There is about 150 people in the village and during the Sunday church service, the congregation attendance is between 30 to 40 people. We replaced the CFL lamps with LED lamps (8 watts) in the church and also for the pastor’s house.

Mission Solar Repair/Maintenance for Lisu Churches at Pai (Sai Ngam & Nam Plamong) Thailand

On 31 March 2018, I visited Pai, Thailand on mission work to repair and maintain solar lighting for the Lisu Anglican churches at Nam Plamong and Sai Ngam. While in Pai, I visited Pastor Nippon and his wife Amanda, and their children Sunny, Rosie & Gracie. They build their own house at Pai.

I went to Nam Plamong to repair the solar lighting at the church. It was reported that lightning has damaged the electronics of the solar equipment. The charged controller is damaged and the battery was dead. I replace a new charge controller and new battery. I have also replaced the CFL lamps with LED lamps (8 Watts) which are more efficient and brighter. The system is up and running and operations has return to normal. The Pastor San Ti Suk and his family were very pleased to see the solar working again.

While I was at Sai Ngam, I did some maintenance work on the solar lighting. I cleaned the solar panels with detergent and water as it was dirty. I have also replaced the CFL lamps with LED lamps (8 Watts) which are more efficient and brighter. I have also rewired the toilet lights with new LED lamps.
