As I have continued to think about PedGen, I have realized the following challenges:
- making it portable (something I can pack in a suitcase or obtain parts for on the island)
- making it something that villagers can easily maintain after I leave
- making it durable to withstand non climate-controlled conditions
- understanding how the different components work and the actual principles of electricity generation and storage
- building something that I then have to take apart to transport and reconstruct in Haiti
- explaining (in French or in English through a translator) how to take care of the device
