Battery storage for agriculture

by

On a livestock farm, a reliable power supply is about far more than just energy costs. If essential technical equipment fails, this can quickly have an impact on animal welfare. This was exactly the challenge faced by farmer Jonas, a long-standing customer of our specialist partner Wi Solar GmbH. He wanted to use more of the solar power generated on his farm while ensuring that his animals would continue to be reliably supplied even in the event of a power outage. The solution was a battery storage system with backup power functionality.

The solution when the power grid goes on strike

by

Just under 11 minutes – 10.73 minutes to be precise – and thus 1.47 minutes less than in the same period of the previous year, we experienced supply interruptions in the power grid in Germany in 2020. This means that the outage time was lower than ever before. Still, for some, the power may go out in the most crucial minutes of the year. And the 10.73 minutes are, of course, only an average. Depending on the situation, it was significantly longer. But what can you do if the power is suddenly gone? The answer is PV and storage, connected via a so-called grid switch box or backup box.

Flagship project in Africa: Using solar power to counteract fluctuating power grids

by

The association Connecting Continents e.V., based in Kirchroth/Germany, has been running a secondary school on Pemba, a small island belonging to Zanzibar/Tanzania in East Africa, for 15 years. A total of 300 pupils, half of them girls and a quarter orphans, attend the school, which is one of the best in the region. The school has been under the direction of headmistress Mrs. Bi Mwaache for many years. Together with her team, she helps students to obtain a state-certified degree every year. In order to concentrate even better on her work with the students, Mrs. Mwaache and her family have recently moved into a freshly finished house only 1 km away from the school. But the electricity supply in the region is very unreliable. Therefore, a photovoltaic system with a battery storage system has recently been installed, which supplies the family with CO2-neural solar power.
