More about:

A remote village in the Argentinian Andes mountains runs on solar energy. As a result, Misa Rumi is one of the first villages in the world to switch over to 100 percent sustainable energy.

Solar panels heat the classrooms in winter when the temperatures fall below minus twenty degrees. They generate the electricity to bake bread and pizza. And the villagers hope that in future they will generate more money.
