Evolution in lighting up Africa

https://bit.ly/2tr7UHJ

The bridge between Solar Home Systems (SHS) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) power storage/usage just occurred with Nissan Leaf EV and Opus. SJ has previously tested the cranking power of deep cycle batteries on internal combustion vehicles. SJ is interested in multi use batteries (Domestic, Small business and mobility).
Evolution just happened!

SJ testing the cranking amp capabilities of telecom and SHS deep cycle batteries on a light vehicle. Although deep cycle rechargeable batteries from our off-grid solar lab are not designed to deliver a quick jolt, they successfully delivered non the less!

Baba the neighbourhood auto electrician now expects a deep cycle battery from SJ off-grid battery bank to do the trick any time the car lights are left on and need to be revived. 

Sowing seeds of light


Thanks to a crop of special people who have sown seeds of support into our mission to improve lives over the years. Your sweat equity, inspiration and other forms of support will forever be appreciated. The list is a mile long, but here goes for a start: Anne N.

The birth of a new mini grid

Interesting off-grid solar titbits from Solar Jooce.

1)Inverterless Direct Current (DC) works really well!
2)North American 110(AC)  Volts can thrive in the African off-grid space.
3)Africa's new next gen mini grids are on the horizon.
