Under the guidance of SIBAT engineers, GP student volunteers are manufacturing the composite parts for the 3 wind turbines, including the fibreglass blades and resin cast alternator. As well as providing students with composites experience they will have the opportunity to help SIBAT during community installation of the systems.
