Mobisun delivered 8 portable solar generators to the Red Cross for emergency relief in St. Martin. The Mobisun Pro panels are intended to support a team of Red Cross workers who will provide first-aid emergency services.
The solar panels were delivered to Schiphol on Friday evening and left for Curaçao on Saturday morning along with 5,800 tarpaulins, 9,000 jerry cans, 2,000 kitchen sets and four generators on a KLM plane.
The goods will then be transferred to St. Maarten with the help of defense forces.
The Mobisun Pro solar panels will provide initial electricity needs such as charging cell phones, tools and lights.
Mobisun wishes the Red Cross and defense team good luck with the emergency response.
