Bushlight Systems

In order to address the significant issues concerning the maintenance of remote energy systems, Bushlight has produced standardised designs using proven equipment. All our systems either meet or exceed industry best practice guidelines.

Bushlight's in-house design team creates systems that include:

• The use of purpose-built, robust, durable enclosures capable of withstanding the harsh environments in which they operate
• Intuitive, user-friendly control interfaces that enable users to manage their system and electrical energy consumption effectively
• Extensive demand side management features such as circuit timers, essential and discretionary enery circuits and Energy Management Units (EMUs) that make sure energy is shared equitably within the community
• Data monitoring systems to record critical system parameters for system diagnostics and fault finding

The three main Bushlight systems are:

BL Household - Standalone photovoltaic (solar) powered systems, typically designed to meet the electrical energy needs of a single household of 3-12kWh/day

BL Community - Standalone photovoltaic powered systems, typically designed to meet the electrical energy needs of a community of 2-10 households/buildings using up to 50kWh/day

BL Hybrid - Combined photovoltaic/generator powered systems with integrated centralised generators. Typically designed to meet the electrical energy needs of communities with numerous households and other buildings with a daily demand 40kWh or more. 

For more information about these systems, please have a look at our brochure. (1.8MG)

Life Cycle Costing is employed to ensure that the individual system configuration is the most appropriate for the particular community. An example LCC analysis is available here (65kb).

More details can be found on the Bushlight System Chart (644kb).

   
Bushlight systems are designed to meet all of a community's energy needs so residents are free to pursue their livelihood goals.

      

Energy management units dispense daily allocations of energy on a house-by-house basis based on agreed energy budgets developed with residents.
