The socio-economic impact of this project is mainly to provide electricity through a source of renewable energy at very low cost. Photovoltaic energy is a clean, renewable and economical source of energy, the main benefits of this energy are to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, to avoid global warming and to generate electricity to small isolated nuclei of the grid. This latter case happens in a high percentage of non-electrified areas mainly in developing countries and in European rural areas where the demanded power needs to be increased.
Suninbox is developed to impact at a first step on two types of markets.:
• Irrigation areas: In areas dedicated to agriculture and where there are large number of farms, it is necessary to increase the use of energy to supply this demand, this is especially true in South of Europe, where the solar radiation is also very high, which the conditions for the use of the photovoltaic energy are perfect. Until the moment the solution was to obtain energy through a diesel generator, Suninbox aims to improve the efficiency of a diesel generator by lowering the cost of energy and eliminating the production of CO2.
• Smart remote energy grids and rural electrification projects: Suninbox offers the opportunity to supply power to areas where grid accessibility is too small or too difficult. In areas of Africa or Latin America solar radiation is very high and accessibility to energy is complicated, with this mobile system is intended to contribute to the local development of these areas. In Africa, the cost of energy Suninbox is less than 0.3€/kWh compared to more than 0.5€/kWh for a diesel generation.
Suninbox contributes to the development of rural and isolated areas, promoting agriculture and facilitating access to electricity.
SUNINBOX is an autonomous device that acts as an uninterrupted generator of electrical energy from a solar source, without emissions, using a 100% renewable resource and allowing the continuous self-supply of electrical energy disconnected from the grid. It allows you to create intelligent networks by connecting disassembled units or integrate into other existing networks.
The main novelty lies in its easy portability thanks to the fact that all the mechanisms are integrated in a metal box and the connection / disconnection takes place in a few minutes. Just open it, and starts to generate green energy.
Suninbox offers innovative technology for the production of clean energy and autonomously, easy to transport and assemble, very useful for use in remote areas, developing populations, for areas where natural disasters have occurred, for places in armed conflicts, fields of refugees, including for military missions. All this makes Suninbox an attractive product for private companies and public bodies interested in investing in sustainable development.
A Smart Grid is being developed within the MiniGrid Suninbox to ensure that the energy has a distributed management, generation and storage.
Suninbox is a pioneer product in the photovoltaic energy market due to the distribution of its equipment and components, since the main advantage of this product is the ease of installation and commissioning, accessible to practically any user. In addition to helping to obtain clean energy from the sun, it can be used by combining different renewable energy to obtain energy improvements and thus improving the energy efficiency of the environment.
