SOLAR ENERGY

For locations that have access to the grid, a grid-tied system, or a hybrid system is recommended, this will help reduce or get rid of all electrical utility bills. This is a common solution for residential and certain commercial applications.

For locations that are remote and do not have access to the grid, an off-grid system is recommended to install. This system helps to run if not all then most loads on the solar system and have a battery back-up for nighttime loads. This is common for lodges in national parks and certain commercial locations were making a grid connection would be a big investment.

Grid-tied or grid-connected system is an electrical system that combines solar system power generation with a grid utility. This system works to help reduce grid dependency during the day and uses utility for night loads, it does not have a battery backup system.

You can install a solar system of any size and you will only ever be billed if your power consumption is in excess of the amount you are generating. Clients can save up to 90% of their utility bills, this depends on the loads and size of the system.

This is an attractive solution to power consumption as it is a relatively cheaper solution with a short payback period and has a good return on investment in the longer term of the project. The main drawback is that during the night if the grid was to go down there would be no power as this system does not have a backup solution.

At GadgetroniX.Net we have designed systems that run lodges, farms, residential houses, offices, companies, etc. We would love to help design and bring to life your solar dreams.

The off-grid solar system is an electrical system that uses solar energy to provide the morning loads and in cases where solar is not sufficient uses either a generator backup or a battery backup will help run the loads. In cases when solar is sufficient enough it will charge the batteries and provide the loads.

All off-grid systems have a battery backup and most also have a generator backup for rare cases when solar is low and batteries are drained. Although there have been large price reductions in the cost of solar panels, inverters, and batteries the cost of the system is still generally quite expensive and has a longer payback period.

Generally, the idea of being off the grid is quite appealing but it does require a bigger initial investment. However, if you are building a new house or holiday home in a remote location off-grid solar can work out to be a lot cheaper than paying to be connected to the grid. There is no absolute standard off-grid system and it should be designed to suit your specific electrical loads and use patterns.

Solar Collectors are typically located on the roof or ground and mounted on a rack. They transfer the thermal energy from the sun to cold water or a heat transfer solution.

A storage Tank is a super-insulated hot water tank that stores the sun’s energy for later use. Water in the tank receives the sun’s energy from the heat transfer solution through a heat exchanger. In some cases, your existing hot water tank can be used.

Ground Water Solar pumps

Access to a clean, reliable water supply is critical for the survival of humans and animals. Groundwater sources offer a cleaner and more reliable supply of drinking water.

Our pumps are matched to local water conditions for optimum performance. Intelligent designs keep electronics above ground and the brushless DC drives match solar generators perfectly.

Groundwater solar pumping products deliver drinking water to people and livestock economically and reliably

Irrigation
The need to irrigate agricultural land efficiently, economically, and sustainably is critical for food security. Costs for irrigation using diesel power are rising at >10 % per year.

Solar irrigation solutions produce no emissions and generate no noise. Solar power for irrigation is more reliable than wind power while being significantly cheaper and cleaner than diesel power. Solar pumps can also complement the design of drip irrigation systems, delivering water precisely and efficiently to individual plants. Very high volumes of water for large-scale irrigation can also be supported through a wide range of pump sizes and vertical lifts.

Solar irrigation solutions are a very attractive alternative to diesel-powered pumping and support sustainable agriculture

Solar Pool Pumps

For homes/hotels/lodges with swimming pools, circulation and filtration pump used to keep pools clean are typically the second biggest consumers of electricity.

Using the technology, expertise, and experience gained in critical drinking water applications, we can supply a wide range of pool pumps that use zero electricity and have a long life. Additional benefits come from the quiet operation and modular construction for simple maintenance. Our solutions save the owner money and reduce their environmental footprint.

Pool pumps are a compelling proposition for home­owners and commercial pool operators in a sector where operating costs need to be minimized.
