ASTRASUN donated solar system for the third time in the frames of its charity program „Astrasun Solar System for Animals”. This time the company helps an animal rescuer organization in Kecskemét with clean energy.

The foundation is getting a rooftop solary system with 3,2 kWp capacity to support the shelter’s everyday activities. The licensing process has started, so after its completion, the installation of the solar system is expected to take place in late spring.

The first two winners of the tender were the Kutyaszív Állatmentő Alapítvány (Dog Heart Animal Rescue Foundation) in Jászfényszaru and Kóborka Állatvédő Egyesület (Association for Stray Animals) in Lovasberény.
The third beneficiary takes care of 400 animals
The animal defende organization based on Kecskemét gives a temporary home for 300 doggies and near 100 cats, ensuring them chance for a happier life with owner. The Shelter for the Animals has its own vet, and the organization places great emphasis on environmental education.
