Have you been thinking of going off-grid?
With the increasing energy costs in South Africa, more and more homeowners and business owners have begun considering alternative energy sources, particularly wind power, solar power or hybrid renewable energy solutions.
In areas that are remote and cannot access the standard electrical grid, renewable energy has proven to be a cheaper and more reliable alternative to expensive generators and, in some cases, the standard electrical grid.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits that an off-grid renewable energy solution carries for you as a customer.
Renewable energy sources are referred to as such because of their ability to produce clean energy from sources that cannot be depleted, i.e.: wind and solar power.
Unlike coal power plants, wind energy does not pollute the air or rely on the use of fossil fuels for energy production. These methods of energy production result in the production of nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and other particulate matter which can result in health issues and damages to the natural habitat of animals and numerous ecosystems in the surrounding areas.
Kestrel’s wind turbines on the other hand do not produce any omissions or contribute to greenhouse gasses making them a clean energy alternative.
The wind is an inexhaustible resource that ensures constant power production even during times where the wind speed is lower than 200km per hour. This ensures that power production is almost always available.
If there are concerns, Kestrel also offers hybrid solutions consisting of both wind turbines and solar panel combos to ensure that energy production is always available through either wind, solar or both.
Kestrel’s micro wind turbines do not require constant maintenance, in fact, they require very little maintenance at all.
Our patented technology allows automatic control of the wind turbine operation and, with our team's experience and expertise, we are able to assist you with any maintenance that might be required.
Because we own our patented technology for our micro wind turbines, we are able to create custom-designed systems for our customers to match their unique energy needs and requirements.
Our customers are very important to us which is why we make it our priority to create unique renewable energy options that benefit the customer’s needs.
Step away from unreliable energy providers and costly energy bills by swapping to an independent energy source instead.
Kestrel’s off-grid solutions allow you to store energy generated from wind turbines, solar panels or both in special battery banks which provide energy during low periods of generation or when wind or solar power is unavailable.
This includes a specialist power management system that protects and manages devices while providing a steady supply of electricity when required.
