We are engineers, architects, and installers of energy systems that supply self-sufficient “off grid” power on land and at sea… The power for the technology we rely on and use in our daily lives. This is the NEW ENERGY*. TODAY.
The sun. source of all energy… light and heat that generates electrical energy in solar cells and wind turbines. Power and energy that’s renewable, clean, and available now. In the reality of today, we may not yet be able to meet all our energy requirements with replenished sources, but we believe in a world where electric energy plays a main role.
There is a lot to be done yet. That’s why we are constantly thinking of new possibilities… designing, implementing, and testing new developments. We roll up our sleeves.
We have installed and use our energy systems on our sailboat where we live, and have many more examples of other systems in use. See for yourself:
* This what we mean by NEW Energy:The energy that was generated at the sun 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago (the sunlight takes 500 seconds to reach the earth). We should use this ‘fresh’ energy as much as possible. And it’s replenished every day for the next 5 billion years. We want to eliminate the “old energy”; that is, the use of fossil fuels which originated 300 million years ago and are not being replenished.
A sturdy Victron energy system is installed on a Bavaria 42 Vision. Fitting new equipment into tight spaces on a sailboat is a challenge, but we found space for everything!
A beautiful old home in Portugal, with lots of sunshine, gets 60 solar panels and an energy system in a small container for off-grid self-sufficient living.
A newly built apartment complex in the Caribbean needs to be off-grid. They cover the entire roof surface with solar panels and the huge energy system is installed in a reefer positioned next to the diesel generator (for back-up)
Energy systems built into containers are rented on sites where temporary extra energy is required… construction site, events, etc. and supply power for high peaks in consumption.
Many solar panels are installed on a large house and shed, 30 kWp in total. This system allows the homeowner to be fully self-supporting in the event power from the grid fails.
Instead of its diesel generator running constantly, an inverter and battery bank, charged by the 24v DC from main engines’ alternators supplies all power.
5 large solar panels on a sailboat, with total peak power of 1700 W. These panels are transparent – solar cells on clear glass – and generate energy on the bottom side as well as the top.
Home energy system with 160 roof-mounted solar panels. Power is utilized directly from the panels or the batteries, with surplus power fed back into to grid
