This Islamic boarding school has need for large amounts of water usage. This Islamic boarding school has students who stay at the Islamic boarding school, so they need to take a bath, and so on. In addition, this Islamic boarding school has ablution activities for prayer times per day. Therefore, this Islamic boarding school has a large amount of electricity bills caused by usage of large amounts of water. We as PkM actors installed solar panels for the operation of the water pump in this Islamic boarding school.
