Without timely help a minor incident can turn into a serious accident.<\/p>\n<p>Two actions have been taken to make it safer: firstly, the owner of Bethlemi, with funding assistance from a Czechoslovakian non-governmental organisation, have commissioned <a href=\"http:\/\/mze.com.ge\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">MZE Ltd<\/a> &#8211; who have offices in Tbilisi, and are specialists in Solar Energy &#8211; to install a remote power system. Formerly they have had to rely on an ageing generator &#8211; for which it was not always possible to obtain fuel. With reliable power the local cell net provider, Magti, agreed to install an amplifier, as a result of which Mobile network coverage for the area has been much improved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/07\/20170506_140502_137695236-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Equipment for the installation was delivered by helicopter on three flights &#8211; owing to space and weight limitations.
