Hotels, boutique hotels, restaurants and beach bars on Sal (Cape Verde, Cabo Verde) run on air conditioning, cooling and lighting, and that uses a lot of power. With an off-grid system from The Huefter Group you produce that power yourself with the Sal sunshine and store it in a large battery. Your guests do not notice power cuts, and the Electra grid only switches in as emergency backup.
Sun, sea and beach under the palms
Sal is the island for a true sun, sea and beach holiday. You get more than 350 days of sunshine a year, miles of white sandy beaches lined with beach bars, and at Santa Maria you simply walk into the calm, clear sea for a swim. Lying under the palms, a drink on the beach and watching the sun set over the sea: that is a holiday on Sal.
The sea water is around 25 °C on average, and from August to October it is often 28 °C and up to 29 °C. Because it hardly ever rains, the heat is dry: the cooling trade wind keeps it pleasant, never too hot and never cold, and in the evening it cools down a few degrees.
For which business?
Hotels and boutique hotels: air conditioning and a minibar in every room, lighting, kitchen and pool pump.
Restaurants: cold and freezer rooms, kitchen equipment and air conditioning.
Beach bars: cooling, music and lighting on the beach, even when the grid fails.
The largest system: 35 kWh battery
Our largest system has 35 kWh of battery storage. That is usually enough for an 18 room hotel with air conditioning and minibars. For smaller businesses there are smaller systems; we match it to your consumption.
Always in control with the app
With the app on your phone you see at any moment what the panels produce, how full the battery is and what your business uses. So you can, for example, plan laundry and the pool pump for the sunny hours.
