5. Charge controller and inverter
(a) Number and capacity of each light and appliance
(b) Indication of functionality of each light and appliance
2. What are the relative roles of local historical background and physical characteristics, type of community governance, and funding source and project implementation process in the success of projects in meeting adaptation, mitigation
and development goals?
The background of a location can give more insight into its current poverty,
development and climate vulnerability status and how the project can be designed.
