Diesel Generators vs. Solar Energy: Choosing the Best Power Solution for Remote Resorts
Introduction:
In the energy arena, the battle between diesel generators and solar power is one that impacts businesses far and wide, especially those nestled in secluded locations. This blog post delves into a story familiar to some of my clients, who manage a resort that’s a world away from the nearest city, accessible only by a lengthy drive and boat ride. They have faced the challenges of traditional diesel power firsthand, and their journey to solar energy offers insightful contrasts between the two power sources.
| Company | Kimboto Hideaway |
| Location | Suriname rivier, 45 min boating from Atjoni |
| Why the switch to Solar energy | Kimboto used a gasoline generator to run its devices. This created high costs for buying gasoline and transporting it. |
| Solution to the problem | Switching to solar power. After the switch, ensured full use of gasoline generator and also additional power available for expansion. |
| Installation specifications | 15 kWp to solar panels 45kWh to battery backup |
| Devices running on solar power | Outdoor Lighting (ornamental lighting and floodlights) Indoor lighting Freezers and refridgerators Airconditioning |
| Company | Alafasi Boto Pasi Lodge |
| Location | Suriname rivier, 2 hours boating from Atjoni |
| Why the switch to Solar energy | Old solar energy system was no longer working properly. The solar panels were old models and the batteries no longer held capacity. The customer wanted to renew the system. |
| Solution to the problem | Switching to newer models of solar panels and batteries. These are monocrystalline panels and lithium (LiFePO4) batteries |
| Installatie specificatie | 5 kWp to solar panels 15kWh to battery backup |
| Devices running on solar power | Freezers en refrigerators Waterdispenser Water cooker Lighting (ornamental- and indoor lighting) |
| Company | Danpaati River Lodge |
| Location | Suriname rivier, 3 hours boating from Atjoni |
| Why the switch to Solar energy | The customer has an existing solar energy system that is already 8 years old, of which the life of the batteries is already over. The customer wanted to know if there are more economical options for replacing the batteries. |
| Solution to the problem | Replacing its battery with a lithium (LiFePO4) battery. These batteries retain 80% of their capacity after 10 years and can be discharged up to 90% without damaging the battery |
| Installation specifications | 15 kWh to battery backups |
| Devices running on solar power |
| Company | Jay’s Agriculture |
| Location | Kaaiman polder, Wageningen |
| Why the switch to Solar energy | There is no electricity supply from EBS at the client’s company and wanted to supply his staff house with electricity 1x24h. |
| Solution to the problem | Installing a solar energy system to supply electricity to that house and in part to its workshop |
| Installatie specificatie | 5 kWp to solar panels 15kWh to battery backups |
| Devices running on solar power | Refrigerator Lighting (Indoor, Outdoor and workshop) |
Solar System Installation
We've successfully installed four custom solar systems, highlighting our commitment to renewable energy, expertise, and dedication to a sustainable future through significant client savings and reduced environmental impact.
Solar maintenance
Regular solar maintenance ensures peak performance, extends system life, and maximizes energy production. Key tasks include panel cleaning, inspections, and monitoring for optimal efficiency and long-term sustainability.
Solar orientation
For optimal solar orientation, we conduct thorough inspections before installation, tailoring each project to client-specific needs. Our meticulous approach ensures maximum efficiency and sustainability in every solar solution we deliver.
Solar Energy Evolution: Milestones from Past to Present
Our inaugural solar venture began at KIMBOTO Hideaway, where we installed a robust system of 15 kW solar panels paired with a 13 kW inverter and a 45 kWh lithium battery. This project marked our foray into the solar industry, broadening our horizons and enabling us to offer comprehensive solar solutions.
In 2023, we expanded our portfolio with installations for Jay’s Agriculture and Alafasi Botopasi, each equipped with 5 kW panels, a 6.5 kW inverter, and a lithium battery. Further enhancing our track record, in 2024, we upgraded Danpaati Resort with a new lithium battery, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to sustainable energy practices.
We continue to collaborate with prospects near Atjoni, transitioning them from traditional fuel-dependent generators to solar energy, thus yielding significant fuel cost savings. Notably, the decreasing costs of solar components have catalyzed our mission to make solar energy more accessible. We are poised to serve homeowners and businesses alike, offering them an opportunity to reduce their electricity expenses.
Looking ahead in 2024, we are set to broaden our offerings. Our goal is to empower a diverse clientele to embark on their own solar journey, benefiting from cleaner energy at a far more affordable cost. We are not just selling products; we are paving the way for a sustainable, cost-efficient future powered by the sun.
