Features & Benefits

A sustainable, reliable supply of energy enables communities to develop and grow. Mono Energy’s community energy solutions offer a range of features and benefits.
 
Economic benefits

• More affordable choice for governments seeking to increase rural and remote access to modern energy compared to costly and difficult grid extensions
• More affordable and sustainable long term option for villagers, compared to relying solely on fossil fuel-powered generators
• Developing communities are less exposed to and impacted by fluctuations in global fuel prices  and reduction in fuel subsidies
• Reliable power for income generating activities.
• Scalable as community needs grow

Renewable energy

• Solar powered community energy solutions can be completely powered by solar modules which use the sun’s energy to create electricity
• Mono Energy’s community energy solutions can also be designed as hybrid systems which include wind power and/or diesel generators
• Local air quality is improved
• Community impact on global climate change is reduced
• Eliminates use of fossil fuel

Community benefits

• Community members, particularly women and children, can feel safer after dark thanks to the provision of solar lighting for common areas
• Community energy systems can also provide energy to power community celebrations, such as religious and cultural festivals, which help to strengthen community bonds

Mono Energy’s packaged community energy solutions come with solar modules, control electronics, wiring and batteries to ensure power availability when the sun is not shining.

The Solar  Power Block is  suitable for a range of applications, including centralised community power for domestic and income generation purposes and includes the following components:

Solar modules

• Systems are powered by solar photovoltaic modules.
• The solar modules have no moving parts, require virtually no maintenance and typically come with a 25-year power output warranty.

Batteries

• A bank of batteries allows the energy created by the solar modules to be stored and used when the sun is not shining so that life – and income generation – does not need to stop when the sun goes down.
• Mono Energy typically uses batteries, which are stable, durable, reliable and require a minimal amount of maintenance.

Inverter

• An inverter is an optional component which can be included if it is determined that the direct current (DC) solar energy needs to be converted to alternating current (AC) energy for use by certain appliances.

Controller

• The controller automatically regulates and manages overall system operation.
