00:34if not, there are still batteries for continuous supply of electricity to the grid.
00:42This is really very important because we can see in the advancement of technology,
00:52the need for power is increasing. Solar really suits us because
01:01you know, even if it's raining, there's still sunlight and solar can still provide power.
01:07As I said, we are very excited and we congratulate all of those who put the project together
