Off-grid Solar
The Kaskantine is equipped with enough solar panels to power the whole project.
We try to install as much as possible applications directly linked to a solar panel to limit the amount of batteries. They only run when there is enough sun! This concerns water circulation pumps, irrigation pumps, air pumps and air ventilation. In the summer this mounts up to more than half of the energy use. The other half of the solar panels are connected to a 5 kW solar inverter and a battery pack of 600Ah. We are looking to extend our solar project. Hands-on help, experts and students are very welcome to join. If you have left-over material, the Kaskantine can find a good destination for it! Our off-grid networks are described on our ENA platform.
