The solar microgrid uses the most abundant resource on the island – the sun – and converts this energy seamlessly into electricity, which can be used for operations. In combination, the battery system stores any excess energy produced by the sun, for use during the night or on cloudy days.
In a similar vein, Robben Island’s energy history is one marred by reliance on fossil fuels and environmental degradation. The Robben Island solar microgrid shows an inspiring example of the way in which communities can adopt clean, efficient and more affordable energy – to the benefit of the local community and the surrounding environment.
The combination of solar and batteries, a revolutionary step, is the key aspect of the return on investment for the island. The solar microgrid will ensure that the island reduces its fossil fuel consumption dramatically, by nearly 250 000 litres of diesel per annum.
Enjoy the versatility of systems that include solar, wind, battery, petrol/diesel generators, and even small-scale residential hydro turbine generators, all tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a reliable backup UPS installation for your home or office or a comprehensive microgrid system, Microgrid has the perfect solution.
The microgrid, consisting of a 666.4 kW solar farm, 837 kW powerstore and multiple controllers, will move the island away from its reliance on diesel generators and toward the sustainable resource of the sun.
Services like panel cleaning and thermal imaging for panels and electrical distribution networks keep your system operating at peak performance. Rest easy knowing that Microgrid is registered with SAPVIA Green Card and the Electrical Contractors Board of South Africa, reflecting their commitment to quality and compliance.
