SAHARA

About SAHARA

dt’s containerized solar system for off-grid electrification. It is a compact and portable unit, which includes the solar modules, inverters, batteries and the controller. Solar panels are fixed on a prefabricated structure that can be easily unfolded on site. SAHARA is suitable for any application from campsites to off-grid locations and remote areas. The system operates in total silence, providing 24/7 service.

During the day, end-users are powered directly by the solar system, through the control panel and the inverter. During the night SAHARA provides electricity through a highly efficient battery bank. The whole system perfectly operates with only little maintenance needs.

End-users are typically connected with a local AC grid, but also the DC version is available.

applications

SAHARA is designed to be deployed as a microgrid or an alternative to diesel generators to be an optimal energy source for rural areas. The Containerized Solar Generator (CSG) is now connected to smart meters, grid management system and mobile money provider. It is fully isolated from the grid and is connected to power source.

SOCOTRA

About SOCOTRA

is dt’s solar carport combining a classic parking facility for cars with the functionality of a high-performance photovoltaic system.

SOCOTRA provides cost-efficient and flexible planning for scalable solar carports. Due to the small number of components in the insert-and-click system, assembly is time-saving and cost-efficient, surpassing conventional solar carports in terms of rainproofing and architectural aesthetics.

applications

Any type of substrate (concrete, sand, asphalt, …), On-grid or off-grid, Commercial and Industrial Parking Lots, EV charging points can easily be integrated.

SONORA

About SONORA

Public lighting is key for the development of communities at night: free movement of people and goods, the opportunity for economic activities, security on the roads, and social gatherings. Currently, for off-grid applications, there is only one real choice: Solar Street Lights. They offer a practical and low- cost solution where the grid connection is not available, and in situations where grid energy is limited and needs to be conserved or better used.

Our Access to Energy Solar Street Lights provides safe, reliable and economical road and area lighting to populations living in rural communities, peri-urban and urban communities. Our lighting solutions provide a high level of lighting output to increase visibility and security for everyone (pedestrians, cyclists, women, children, secondary road users, refugee camps, communities, businesses, markets, etc.) without the need for grid connection.

Optional Features

USB or Electrical Plugs for device charging (laptop, phone, etc…), 3G / 4G Built-in Router, Security and surveillance systems.
