Energy Solutions have become the UK’s leading supplier of off grid power solutions for homes and businesses with their unique range of off grid systems. In an exciting new development the company is now launching its latest off grid solution – EasyGrid.  Designed and built in the UK but developed to be used worldwide, the range is a pre-configured, ready to install off grid solution suitable to most applications where a mains grid connection is not available, feasible or reliable.

The EasyGrid range is designed as a “Plug and Play” system, and can be installed by a local electrician. All the components are contained with a robust, lockable cabinet that can be left outside so no interior space is required.

Explains Energy Solutions’ Head of Sales Mark Penny:  “We want to make off grid power as straightforward as possible for our customers – and EasyGrid does that.  Whether they are looking to provide electrical power for a small office or a large family home we have an EasyGrid system that will be a perfect fit.”

Being able to have the unit installed by a local electrician makes it a truly accessible, affordable option - with an easy to follow installation guide and a telephone support team the units can be installed within a day.

The EasyGrid range offers flexibility for owners as they can connect to both renewable power – solar or wind;  as well as a generator  - giving owners access to continuous, silent power everyday. In the case of the Easy Grid 5000 and 10000 the cabinets have an additional grid connection which allows owners to use unreliable mains grid, when available, and to revert first to stored power and then a back up generator – all seamlessly. This is vital in areas that have frequent daily power cuts but power is needed on a continuous basis.

“We believe that this range will be popular both within the UK and internationally; our first units have already being dispatched to customers that have been waiting for an all-in-one solution.” concludes Mark Penny.

The range consists of EasyGrid 2000, EasyGrid 3000, EasyGrid 5000 and EasyGrid 10000 and for further information or to chat through your off grid requirements just contact the Off Grid team on 01634 290772 or email sales@energy-solutions.co.uk

Controlling Titan – Energy Solutions Panels Installed on the PLA’s New SuperBoat

Energy Solutions are delighted to be one of the suppliers for London Titan – the Port of London Authority’s (PLA) new and unique multi-purpose mooring maintenance vessel.  Working with Manor Marine, Energy Solutions were commissioned to design and build the control and monitoring panels for the vessel.

Representing the PLA’s single biggest investment of the past 20 years, versatile is essential for a port that welcomes everything from container ships to HMS Invincible, tall ships to rowing boats. Her unique design means she can work both at sea and in shallower waters all the way up to Richmond Lock.

Energy Solutions’ Head of Sales Mark Penny explains how the company undertook their part of the project: “We are fortunate to work with the PLA on many power, monitoring and control projects. On this project we had a great working relationship with Manor Marine who called us in for our bespoke panel building skills. The units were built here at our manufacturing unit in Kent and then taken to Portland to be fitted.” 

The vessel is on display at the marine trade Seawork show and will be in service by the summer.

Energy Solutions are launching their first 24 volt Lithium Ion Battery for the marine market at Seaworks 2015.

The demand for intelligent batteries which allow greater capacity and optimise power use is on the increase across the marine market. Energy Solutions are addressing that demand with a brand new battery which is designed to be a simple swap out for lead acid batteries. With all the protection and control built in - it is as close to a like for like swap as you can get.

Energy Solutions’ MD Paul Holland explains the technology: “The battery is composed of Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP),  the safest of the mainstream Li-ion battery type. With a capacity of 400 Ah (10.4kWh) the battery caters for applications with high energy requirements.”

As well as this there are numerous other advantages to Lithium Ion:

• Weight reduction -up to 80% lighter than lead acid batteries (for same useable capacity)
• Fast recharging - can be fully recharged within one hour
• Conversion efficiency -  99% efficient at converting charge energy to charge source
• Less Bulky,  1/3 less space
• Longer Service Life,  2000 - 3000 cycles
• No Sulphating - can be left in a discharge state without damage
• Low self- discharge rate
• Great for situations with long periods of non-use

Those interested in the new ES Lithium Ion Li3PO4 battery will be able to see a demonstration unit on the Energy Solutions stand A197 and collect full technical information and pricing at Seaworks 2015.
