Solar Energy
Trying to minimise one’s energy footprint is a ‘Must Do’ and Skyezone became 99.4% carbon neutral in 2024.
Since 2011 a 4.6 kWh of solar panel arrays (below) powered a considerable number of our production devices:
5 dedicated fridges, 1 freezer;
2 x Distillations units,
2x Compressor pumps, Juicer, Dehydrators, Vitamisers, Mixers, Blenders, Electronic scales, plus office computer/ printer/phones/heater etc.
In 2021 Eco-seal film was added to sun facing windows to reduce heat/ cold transfer.
Our Transition Plan to a fully renewable energy system took a huge leap forward in 2.5 years.
By August 2024 we had transitioned to:
- Induction stoves (gas removed)
- Hot water heat pump, powered by solar panels.
By 2026
Solar panels increased to a 9.2 kW system
- 3 x 9.7kW Solar Edge storage batteries - now able to generate and store 99.4% energy for Skyezone year round.
- Transitioned to an electric car
- 7 dedicated fridges
Be safe, with kind regards. Jennifer Elwin and the Skyezone team
