Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify? Citrus Creek Plantation is now fully (100%) on solar. An Eco-village and plantation in Dominica operated as an eco-lodge . Now fully #sustainable and #resilient . A big thanks to Sustainable Earth Dominica for brainstorming, designing, supplying, installing, setting and testing this solar system . The national grid is now our generator ... "in case of need !". For those interested , the equation solved by Sustainable Earth Dominica design was : - Supply all the cottages and buildings which did not yet have their own solar system with one centralized brand new solar system . - Daily consumption estimated at 20 Kwh with peaks at 30 Kwh ; 45% during "sun light" time (7 am to 5 pm) ; 55% during night time . - Peak consumption at 7 Kw (when all cottages are occupied ; if guests use their expresso machines at the same time while fridges motors start together with some water pressure pumps !! So the final system is composed of : 20 solar panels Axitec 410 = 8,2 Kw 2 MPPT Charge controllers Victron Smart 150/70 VeCan 2 Victron Quattro inverters 48v/5000w/110A in parrallel for 10 Kw peak capacity ; The beauty of the Victron Quattro model is the 2 AC In ports allowing for simultaneous permanent connection of Grid on AC 1 and Generator on AC2 . Automatic transfer switch . This is the best possible HYBRID / Grid-Assist option. 4 Pylontech Ion-Lithium UP5000 battery bricks of 5 Kwh each = 20 Kwh of storage capacity of which 90% is available (18 Kwh) . Now, to better understand what is this system powering : - The Riverside Café main building with restaurant, full kitchen, and office (Electric Espresso machines, water pumps, blenders, electric grill, 2 full size fridges, 1 large freezer, Office material, many LED lights, fans ) - Banyan cottage, Guava cottage , YlangYlang villa ; each of them with 1 Espresso machine, 1 fridge-freezer, 1 electric oven, 1 blender, many LED lights, water pump,fans... - The Citrus Creek Plantation main laundry with 2 large washing machines , a large pressure water pump and the technical shed with battery power tools charger and use of electric tools during the day , - The Calabash building with a dwelling house and cottage . - The Rum museum old estate building, now hosting the solar lab and workshop - All internal LED road and garden lights Thanks Sustainable Earth Dominica . Great job well done . Happy with what we have now . Impressed to see how accurate the design was based on the estimate , and to see the results : - Plantation is currently full : Reach back 100% batteries state of charge before noon . Peak production in the morning above 6 Kw . Early morning battery state of charge not reaching below 35 % . And still the Grid is available if the weather is not as sunny as we would expect , or if we have more consumption than usual . One day at a time . A great milestone for Citrus Creek for its 13th year of operation . For the past 8 years, Citrus Creek solar system was producing about 50% of our electricity needs . Now 100% . And, ... by the way ! 11% R.O.I. Far better than banks and less risky ?
