Training on Operations & Maintenance of Solar Water fountain

Jouney to setting up the Solar Panel





We were briefed by Grenzone's Mr Teo
on the basic operations and maintenance
of the Solar Water Fountain.

Mr Teo explaining to us the various parts of the Solar Water Fountain, such as the control panel, water pump and battery module.
