RURAL HOMESTEADS AND FARM
HOUSES:
Rural homesteads and farm houses that do not have access to power or where the
R40 000 plus electricity connection fee per kilometer makes it uneconomical to get power,
can successfully use solar power or a combination of power sources. Such power systems are
designed by the Sun Electricity team to suite the client’s specific needs. These
large solar systems comprise a number of solar panels that charge a battery bank and an
inverter to change the power for household uses such as refrigeration, microwave,
vacuuming, hair drying, television and many more applications. The biggest advantages of
this large system lies in the fact that the constant noise of a generator is cut out
whilst power comparable to the comfort experienced is cities are available.WEEK-END AND HOLIDAY HOMES, LOW INCOME HOUSING:
Small solar power systems which produces enough electricity for a few lights,
TV and radio are purchased by low income earners in rural areas as well as farmers for the
labour housing. These systems improve the living conditions of rural people tremendously
as they then also have the chance of staying in contact with the outside world, to receive
electronic entertainment and information and to read or study under good quality light.
People with bush hideouts or holiday homes buy these small
solar systems or slightly larger systems that is capable of running a few city luxuries.
One of the beauties of solar is that systems are modular and that their size can be
increased as power needs grow or as money becomes available. |
