Mini/Micro grids

Taking into account the See4all criteria of energy usage we design system from 300w solar home systems to 140MW utility scale projects.
Ensuring that individual systems in villages are built to standards which are grid compatible in the future, paves the way for the individual systems on small roof tops to be able to be connected via mini or micro-grids – depending on the size, which allows customers to share the power production depending on their individual activities of that particular day. 

With smart meters it is easy to work out who produced power and who consumed the power and therefore who pays and who gets paid.

Storage

Battery storage is still the dominant technology for storing electricity. New types of batteries are becoming commercially available which makes it economically viable to develop and design systems which allow for storage of electricity to be used when either the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.
