Off-Grid Solar PV System (Mozambique)

Designed and commissioned an off-grid solar power, photovoltaic (PV) system in an upmarket lodge in Vilancoulas, Mozambique.

InSynch and AM Solar worked with the client to take the existing solar system which was

under-capacity and was under-performing and to get it to a point where the lodge could be 100% dependent on the solar power.

Additional solar charge via Sanyo 210W PV panels and Outback FM80 charge controllers were bolted onto the system.

Also additional storage was put into the system by means of Raylite 1375AH Tubular Cell, flooded cell batteries, now giving 2 full days of autonomy (i.e. 2 days of power storage).

The system includes an MLT-Drives 6kW off-grid inverter and a 3rd and 4th bank of SetSolar 70W PV Panels.

The system has been programmed and optimised to function as efficiently as possible and to extend the life-span of the system, by means of load measurement and prioritising and by programming in specific hardware related set-points.

RAMMED EARTH - Pavillion Dalrymple (Westcliff, JHB)

Breathtaking Project..!!

Architects Silvio Rech and Leslie Carstens designers of this outdoor entertainment building called "Pavillion Dalrymple"

Two storeys of Rammed Earth wall... full of colour and natural beauty.... in a breathtaking setting in the wonderful upmarket suburb of Westcliff, Johannesburg.

This is just the basement floor... that you see in the photo's.

Wait till you see the Ground Floor wall.... 3 times the size!!!

Note: All soils, soil colours and pigments are 100% natural, either from the blending of the available soil deposits or sourcing soil/agrement rock from site to generate a pigment (e.g. the black lines are a combination of the local dark red soil which is clay rich and soot/charcoal from onsite fires all mixed together, and allowing them to ferment, etc.).

David Rattray Foundation - Pilot Project

InSynch Sustainable Technologies (Pty) Ltd, appointed green building consultants and trainers to the David Rattray Foundation to assist with up-scaling Rammed Earth technology to roll-out many community built school and community building in the Rorkes Drift area in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

Once again, Rammed Earth was the construction technology of choice for these low-cost and locally built buildings.

Grey & Black Water - Constructed Wetlands

Using the power of nature..

This is and many other constructed wetlands have been designed and some installed by InSynch Sustainable Technologies (Pty) Ltd.

Solar Hot Water ..... InSynch on the Boil.

Thank you to Eskom, we have been constantly busy with a miriad of small to large scale solar hot water installations.

These days, all InSynch Solar installation work is done by our solar partners, AM Solar - Professional Solar Solutions.

AM Solar is the coming together of InSynch's solar division SunSync Solar and Natural Energy Energy Systems (NES Solar).
