Solar Categories

PV Modules

PV modules are the heart of any solar electric system. They convert the visible sunlight into electrical energy.

Inverter

Inverter converter DC energy obtained from PV modules or batteries into AC energy that normal household equipment uses. High efficiency inverters are a must to efficiently convert the limited available energy form DC to AC.

Batteries

Batteries are used to store energy for night time usage. Different battery technologies are available on the market with a large variety of application. Lithium is one of these technologies which is rapidly expanding the footprint worldwide.

Design, Manufacture and Supply 21 Automatic Weather Stations

National Botanical Research Institute (BIOTA)

2010

CTS has supplied 21 weather stations for the Biota research project. These weather stations are designed according to world meteorological standard.

Each station consists of:

Wind Speed and Direction Sensor
Irradiance Sensor
Humidity/Ambient Temperature Sensor
Barometric Pressure Sensor
Ground Temperature Sensor
Leaf Wetness Sensor
Rain Bucket

The weather stations are equipment with the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific. Special software has been developed to allow automatic transmission of the weather data to a server based in Germany via GPRS using the local GSM network. Software updates can be done remotely minimizing travel.

Weather data can be viewed at: www.sasscalweathernet.org

Small off-grid PV Systems

Private

2018

Various small off-grid PV systems, also referred to SHS (Solar Home Systems) have been supplied country wide. These systems are typically based on small high efficiency lithium ion batteries as storage solution and Victron components such as solar charge regulator, inverter and monitoring devices.

Design, Supply and Install of a new Hot Water System for Lüderitz Nest Hotel

Lüderitz Nest Hotel

2019

After close to 20 years of operation, the existing electrically heated hot water boilers were replaced. A modern, energy efficient system supplied by Stiebel Eltron was installed. The system comprises of the following:

2x heat pumps
5x 1000L hot water tanks (with electrical backup)
1x Control panel with remote monitoring and SMS alarm functionality.
2x booster pumps to feed the hotel with water during times when municipal supply is shut off

The installation has been achieved in a 3 week period. All works have been carried out with minimal interruptions to the hot water supply to the hotel. Remote monitoring of the plant in included to assist the client with possible troubleshooting, thus avoiding unnecessary trips to Lüderitz. SMS communication allows the quick reaction times of hotel maintenance personnel to act in cases of municipal water loss.

Installation of Containerized Off-Grid PV Systems in the Otjozondjupa Region

Ministry of Mines and Energy

2015

Three localities in the Otjozondjupa region where successfully electrified by means of Off-Grid PV containers. The system sizes varied from 6kW, 12kW to 25kW of PV power. PV modules where installed on roofs of nearby houses, batteries, inverter/charger and switchgear are located in our proven design of prefabricated containers to keep the components cool, even in the hottest of climates.

The system is an AC coupled PV system with SMA Sunny Island (SI 8.0) inverter and SunnyBoys of various sizes. Communication between all components is based on a wireless RS485 solution from Phoenix Contact with a distance covered of 1.5km.

Sites that were electrified in the Otjozondjupa region are:

Rooidag Hek
M’Kata
Kukurushe

Supply, Delivery and Installation of Laundry Equipment for the Husab Mine

Husab Uranium Mine

2015

CTS was instructed to supply, deliver, install, test and commission laundry equipment for the Mine Complex Change House, Plant Complex Change House and the FPR Change House at the Husab Mine in 2015.

The Husab mine has to process nearly 2 000 overalls and towels on a daily basis. Emphasis was made on equipment that is energy efficient, safe to operate and cost effective to maintain.

Miele equipment fulfills every requirement when it comes to the economical processing of large amounts of laundry. Miele’s tried and tested programs ensure the correct washing process for every type of material. The tumble driers complement the washer extractors and are highly economical, thanks to short running times. Thus you have a perfect solution to process large amounts of laundry, fast, hygienically and economically.

CTS installed washer extractors fitted with water recovery units and heat pump tumble driers. Laundry-care requirements vary significantly according to the customer’s needs. Whichever your requirement, CTS can offer you the ideal solution.
