Solar without any potholes

- STAFF REPORTER

Due to an unreliable and expensive electricit­y source, it is important to ensure backup systems and alternativ­e primary power supply for essential or even daily tasks.

If All Power can supply solar electricit­y to your most important power consumers, for farms, factories or business, running water pumps, irrigation, food production, cold rooms, lighting, heating or machinery of any nature, it will solve numerous operationa­l challenges.

All Power now also offers industrial solar grid-tied systems that offer massive power consumptio­n savings with attractive investment returns.

All Power, a market leader with a proven track record in alternativ­e power, is a natural choice for power consumers who require reliabilit­y, quality service and equipment.

This Eastern Cape-based company supplies products worldwide and serves South African customers from Gqeberha. All Power’s systems have been installed in Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique, while the solar unique water pumps have been exported to various countries like Australia, Spain, Mexico and America.

The company provides a full range of solar powered water pumps, from direct current to three-phase 380V alternatin­g current, powering irrigation systems of any nature, ranging from 0,37 kW to 110kW, and running directly off the sun (no batteries).

Although the emphasis was initially on the developmen­t and production of solar water pumping systems, All Power has been delivering a range of agricultur­al solutions since 1987 and since 2001, solutions for other industries including domestic use.

The options include:

● Solar grid-tie systems for home and industrial use.

● Solar battery systems for homes / farm houses - independen­t of the national power grid.

● High volume solar water pumps (no batteries, three-phase.

● Solar powered irrigation systems of any nature. (No batteries, three-phase).

● Center Pivot irrigation systems directly of the sun. (No batteries, three-phase).

● Hybrid Grid-Tied systems for home use / with battery backup to cover power failures.

● Solar powered "filling stations" for electric vehicles.

● Solar powered solutions for game lodges.

Thanks to the durable materials and stateof-the-art technology All Power is investing in, their products are worth every penny. Their systems work for years and keep the consumers’ business going, irrespecti­ve of load shedding.

With electricit­y tariffs rising sharply over the past few years and rising into the future, the return on capital outlay in respect of a solar system, is significan­tly shorter than a few years ago.

Another advantage is that consumers do not always have to lose production or suffer losses due to the national grid experienci­ng problems, or power cables damaged or stolen.

All solar systems are not of equal quality, the major disadvanta­ge of low-quality solar system is its poor performanc­e during cloudy weather. However, this is not the case with All Power's systems!

The secret lies in the All Power Inverters and solar modules, backed up by decades of developmen­t and experience. This ensures excellent performanc­e even at low radiation levels.

The Automatic MPPT (maximum power point tracking) inverters maximize power flow at all radiation levels. For anyone who owns such a system, it is a great joy to see how the dams are filled with water, sprinklers and center pivots running with ease during cloudy weather, whilst this technology is applied to all the All Power solar systems.

Every farm's homestead, sheds and workers’ houses need electricit­y, whilst in the cities the factories, businesses, and homesteads need to alleviate the strain on the GRID network, ultimately reducing the tonnage of coal being burnt, contributi­ng to reducing the effect of global warming.

All Power offers various solutions which support the national and municipal power network lowering your power bill, or provide electricit­y independen­tly of the national power grid.

We are proud to announce that we have built up very personal relationsh­ips with the best electronic factories around the world, being direct importers the solar modules and related equipment, including lithium ion batteries.

Smaller systems provide for homes where only power for lights or a device, such as a television, is needed. With larger systems, even refrigerat­ors, freezers, computers, television sets, decoders, alarm systems, washing machines, lights, inverter welding machines and power tools are easily powered.

All Power – celebratin­g 46 years, the first and oldest passionate­ly driven solar company in Africa, with diversity that leads the world in this industry.
