    The Night Heron uses powerful neodymium magnets to generate electricity, which is then stored in a battery bank for use when the wind is not blowing. Built by access:energy at our workshop in Kisumu, Kenya, each turbine is held to the highest standards of quality and performance. Installations are expandable in modular arrays of two or more turbines to meet the higher energy needs of communities and commercial clients.
  • Rotor Diameter: 2.4m
  • Nominal rating: 700W
  • Output: 12V or 24V options available
  • Power output at 5 m/s average windspeed: 93kWh per month
  • Daily output under typical conditions: 2.5kWh per day
The Night Heron is available on short term lease-hire basis. For a small deposit and a monthly fee, your turbine will supply you with the electricity you need to power your home or business. The Night Heron is also available for purchase at 250,000 KSh.

        Prices include everything needed to power your home or commercial operations: turbine, tower, battery bank, wiring, electronics, installation, delivery, and commissioning. Click

Photovoltaic Solar Arrays

Building on access:energy’s expertise in renewable energy, our photovoltaic solar arrays are engineered for maximum performance and cost effectiveness. We search far and wide to source the most cost effective solar technologies. We then pair them with access:energy’s own remote control and monitoring electronics, custom designing each system specifically to our clients’ needs.

Built using semi-conductor technology, solar panels harvest energy from sunlight and convert it into electricity. East Africa is an ideal location for solar energy—one of the best, in fact. A 300W solar array will produce 1 – 1.7 kilowatt hours of electricity per day in most places in East Africa. In addition, solar technology is growing cheaper and more efficient by the day.

Our systems are tailored according to each user’s specific needs, but we have access to a wide variety of cutting edge solar technology.
access:energy’s custom solar arrays are available on short term lease-hire basis. For a small deposit and a monthly fee, your solar system will supply you with the electricity you need to power your home or business. Our solar installations are also available for purchase. Contact usfor a quotation.

    As always, prices include everything needed to power your home or commercial operations: solar panels, mounting, battery bank, wiring, electronics, installation, delivery, and commissioning.
 

Hybrid Power Stations

The combination of wind and solar power allows for the highest level of customization and efficiency. A hybrid system is ideal for applications that require guaranteed nonstop power. The two energy sources complement each other well—when the solar side is not producing, the turbine compensates, and vice versa.

    access:energy’s hybrid systems are tuned to work in harmony. The wind turbine and solar panel are controlled centrally and monitored remotely; power from both is stored in the same battery bank. Designed, built, installed, and maintained by access:energy, the hybrid systems can be tailored exactly to your specifications and represent the very best of what access:energy has to offer.
