Powering a small office
Currently I am aiding the MoH [Ministry of Health] here in Liberia in potential ICT Solutions for linking up the Districts to the central MoH. The issue is that there is no internet back-bone in the country and currently very little information is being passed to the central MoH; because of a lack of resources and information. The idea is to install a VSat in every county (15). However; all electricity is provided through generators. Is it possible to run a VSat using alternative power (such as solar)? The VSat system will be hooked up to a maximum of 4 desktops and maybe even a server. Ignoring maintenance and training issues; how much power can a solar solution provide for the system? Would 4 computers, server plus peripheral technological equipment be too much for a solar unit?
Potential VSat: C-Band VSat with dedicated bandwidth 1.8 m dish 5 watt transmitter Indoor modem

Mohammed
