摘要

在马拉维的一家医院安装可靠的、负担得起的电力，通过对其太阳能和整个电力系统进行大修，以应对极其糟糕的电网电力，从而减少了账单和减少了对电气设备的损坏，并为病人护理节省了资金。2024年，我们报告了该系统在2022年7月至2023年7月运行一年后的结果。2024年1月，我们又安装了17块100Ah锂离子电池，从2024年2月到2025年2月，我们的节能效果显著。我们为其他医院提供建议。

Short report - An update and further reflections on April 2024 article 'Implementation of a 3-phase grid-coupled solar electricity and back-up system at Mulanje Mission Hospital, Malawi'.

Installing reliable, affordable electricity in a Malawian hospital, through overhauling its solar and overall electrical system in response to extremely poor grid electricity, has resulted in reduced bills and reduced damage to electrical equipment, and saved money for patient care. In 2024, we reported results of this upgraded system after a year of operation from July 2022 to July 2023. In January 2024, we installed 17 more 100Ah lithium-ion batteries, and results from February 2024 to February 2025 showed significant savings. We make recommendations for other hospitals.
