Solar Fiji

Action Project Reference: 57-07

Action Project Title: Create a practical guidebook on how to approach technical repairs on common solar systems used by Solar Fiji, in
Fiji.

Project Details:

The partner encourages your own creativity in producing a unique finished product, however has outlined the essential areas below to ensure you comply with
the project aims.

Individuals with electrical engineering background to help out with our tech team with fixing solar equipment if possible and maybe can bring in
new skills to our tech team as well.

An interesting perspective to take with this project could be for repairs by villagers using the solar panels. This would require different languaging
and potential diagrams if taking the project in this direction.

Key Research & Discussion Areas
Planning and Preparation
● Research, research, research! You are going to need to
understand the topic thoroughly to effectively write
content on it. It will come together much quicker if you
feel confident about the topic too
● Who is the audience of this written piece? How will
that guide how you approach this task?
● How will this written piece be used? This will help you
think about what format is most appropriate.
● What is the purpose this written piece is trying to
serve?
● Could you potentially read other guidebooks on similar
topics if available? What makes it a good one and how
can you incorporate that into your piece of work?

Design
● What tone is most appropriate to take when writing
about this topic and for your target audience?
● What information is most important to include?
● Is it necessary to reference (or include a resource list at
the end?)
● How long is appropriate for this piece of work?
● Is the text visually appealing and digestible?
● How will the generation and writing of new content be
made sustainable in the long-term?
● If you are appealing to multiple audiences, how could
you differentiate your content (e.g. language, level of
assumed background knowledge) for varying
audiences?
Potential Barriers
● Are you including information that might become
outdated? Are the resources useful in the long-term...
do they need to be?
● Minimise your barrier to entry in the piece itself... if
you open with a big paragraph people are going to be
less inclined to keep reading!
Evaluation
● Are there any key performance indicators that will
identify the success of the strategy?
● Is your proposal clear and understandable?
● Come back to your original aim - has your plan
achieved its purpose/provided the means to achieve its
purpose?

Proposal
● Make sure you highlight exactly how you envision
these resources being implemented and used.
● What can you focus on in your presentation to make
sure it's engaging (rather than just reading through the
text... hopefully that is self-explanatory!)?
● Which topics would be most appropriate to emphasise
in the presentation?
