Our building crew is a dynamic team of tinkerers working on diverse projects but most of the work can be divided into 3 main areas. Energy, Water and Building. Please note, the less technical skills and knowledge you have, the longer the commitment to our community we will need, so both you and de KasKantine can get the most out of this exciting opportunity. Let's grow and develop our skills together!
1. Solar Tinkerer
What is the job?
Are you the person who will help us producing solar energy for our off-grid space? Since we are completely off-grid, we must be able to not only generate but also store solar energy in batteries (600 Ah). We also have a 5 kW transformer, mainly to power our tools. The lighting and water pumps are typically 12 volts. Our goal is to develop several solar energy production systems that can be interconnected with system switches. The main challenge is to conduct this work safely, whilst within our financial budget.
We are currently researching several questions: How to use excess power through dump loads and automatic relay switches? How to ensure the batteries stay in good condition?
Who are you?
Asked commitment:
Every week a shift of 4hr, Upon agreement
