Portfolio
My portfolio consists of various energy and water supply solutions. The silver lining of my portfolio is my believe that you should always strive to leave a place more beautiful than you found it. The environment is the driving factor for my work and aspires me to design successful integrated solutions that are built to last:
Systems in harmony with nature.
Residential hybrid solar system
The main features of this system are:
-
550W solar panels
-
Hybrid Inverter
-
Gel or lithium batteries
Intelligent system using solar energy with priority to the grid. During the winter months, utility may help to supply the loads and charge batteries when rainclouds cover the sky. In the case of a power cut, batteries and solar panels (the latter depending on the weather conditions) will be available.
Residential off-grid solar system
The main features of this system are:
-
550W solar panels
-
Off-grid inverter
-
Lithium batteries
Long lasting system with excellent energy capacity throughout the whole year (including the winter).
Solar powered irrigation
"La Floresta"
The main features of this system are:
-
Three 550W solar panels
-
750W VFD inverter
-
370W 0.5HP waterpump (8 meter deep well)
+ Inexpensive and user-friendly
- Dependent on the weather conditions (only works during sunny days as it is a system without batteries).
Solar powered water filters for a rainwater collection pond "Centro los Maquis"
Same solar powered water pump system as at "La Floresta". This time, however, it is used to lift water from a pond into two barrels containing volcanic rocks. Here algae and other organic matter existent in the water will get trapped and eaten by beneficial bacteria that are living in the porous stones. Subsequently, the cleaned water finds its way back to the pond through a waterfall made out of recycled tiles.
Aeration system for a rainwater collection pond
"Centro los Maquis"
I installed a simple, quiet and energy efficient 220V air pump connected to two diffusers located on the bottom of the pond. The bubbles oxygenate and circulate the water, reducing algae growth, rotting, and evaporation.
