[mch2021-orga] sustainability in the camp

[Tom Behets]

The 'hardware hacking area/belgian embassy' bus we come with every camp now
contains a battery bank of 61KWh.
We also have solar panels on the roof, so we became self-sufficient.
Even with all the soldering irons etc running during the workshops, we are
independant during a week, without solar. ;)

Because it is not clear to me who and how decisions are made, I am not sure if I will pursue this any further or will put this wiki down.
