  10. Why SunnyDay is special?
    The event will not end just with
    awarding the winners and giving
    them prizes. It is about community
    and cooperation.
    The concentrators developed are
    intended to be produced in non-
    industrial / small-scale production
    settings (home workshop or
    hackerspace)
