  • Quebrada de Humahuaca, Tilcara. Armando Alvarez of Cultura Pirca ONG, a organisation promoting the development of Andean Qolla indians communities. In many villages in the Argentinian Altiplano Cultura Pirca has installed an 8-square-meter Scheffler reflector which are used as a public installation for baking bread saving precious firewood.       The heating equipment consists of  concentrating  reflectors that  move to track the movement of the sun. In rural areas institutions depending on oil, gas and electricity are trying to switch to renewable energies. <br />
Reasons for this change are the high costs of  conventional fuel and the unreliability of the electric grid. Photovoltaic is often too expensive and used for small applications.
