Our mission is to be the preferred distribution channel for the sale of the best renewable energy products.
Photovoltaics
The production of electricity from photovoltaic sources is a real, safe and economical alternative to power generation through the exploitation of non-renewable resources.
Mini Wind Turbine
The Mini Wind plant is a wind plant of small size (generally below 100 kW and no more than 30 meters high), which produces electricity from the wind.
Energy storage tanks
Energy storage tanks for solar and renewable energy are the future. Nowadays, energy storage systems allow electrical storage and in particular the solar power storage.

Photovoltaics
A photovoltaic system converts solar energy directly into electricity.
It is composed essentially of:
- photovoltaic modules or panels;
- inverter that converts the direct current generated by the modules into alternating current;
- electrical panels and cables.
The main advantages are:
- the absence of any type of polluting emission;
- saving of fossil fuels;
- plant reliability because there are no moving parts;
- reduced operating and maintenance costs;
Both types of systems use the sun as an energy source, capturing radiation through receiving surfaces: while the photovoltaic modules directly transform the solar radiation into electrical energy, solar thermal panels use the thermal energy of the sun to heat the water to be used for sanitary purposes or heating.
The photovoltaic modules can be placed on any part of a property (roof, facade, balcony, etc.) or on the ground. The installation site must meet the following requirements:
- availability of space needed to install the modules;
- correct exposure and inclination of the surface of the modules.
- availability of space needed to install the modules;
- correct exposure and inclination of the surface of the modules.
Optimal conditions in Italy are:
- southern exposure;
- module inclination between 25 ° and 35 °;
- absence of barriers that can create shadow or semidarkness.
Referring particularly to small applications (photovoltaic roofs) and crystalline silicon modules, an indicative value of occupation of the surface is about 8-10 square meters per kW of installed nominal power.
Mini Wind Turbine
It is a type of plant that produces electricity through the conversion of the pushing force of the wind on wind turbines. We can define small wind turbine the one within 200 kW. The principle of operation exploits the movement impressed to the blades from the wind. The production of electricity occurs thanks to the transmission of the kinetic energy, produced by the movement of the blades, to a generator.
Having a mini wind turbine allows you to:
- produce energy with winds of low intensity or in case of turbulence;
- reduce the level of noise;
- reduce the environmental impact;
- operate in safety and security.
Design criteria and components are the same, but size is different. A wind turbine has blades of at least 20 meter long, a small wind generator can have 1 meter long blades. Wind power plants are usually installed in geographic areas with high wind annual regimes and they are characterized by many big turbines. Mini wind turbines have smaller dimensions and are cheaper.
A small wind system will be installed where wind conditions throughout the year are such that they ensure its proper functioning and energy production ensuring satisfactory return on the cost incurred. The benchmark is the average wind speed on an annual basis. Sites with average annual rate of less than 4.5 meters per second are not considered profitable. Average annual rate that are over this value are located along the coast, on the mountains and in many areas of central and southern Italy and in the islands. The optimum conditions for the best productivity of a wind turbine can be found in an open and regular ground, far from obstacles that may interfere with the flow of the wind. A wind turbine is well positioned if it is placed in a soil which has a slope between 6 and 16 degrees, where the wind has a speed of at least 5.5 meters per second and is blowing so constant for most of the year.
A mini wind turbine has the following characteristics:
- turbine size up to 200 kW;
- generators height less than 30-40 meters;
- size of the blades from 0,5 meters.
Solar power storage tank
A solar power storage tank is a system that stores energy and returns it when required. The electric accumulator (commonly called "battery"), allows a storage of electrical energy during the day when there is high energy production and a subsequent return of electrical during evening/night when there is an intense use of it.
The main advantage of the solar power storage tank is to make the end user energy self-sufficient and completely independent of the network. The solar power storage tank is indispensable in the case of photovoltaic panels that present the problem of discontinuity of production: during the day the plant produces, while at night not. The solution is to accumulate the energy produced in excess by the plant (which would be sold to the network) and then use it at a later time (evening/night), when we need it and the plant does not produce.
Photovoltaic system and electric storage batteries together can ensure savings in the bill that, at certain times of the year, can be 100%. The use of a solar power storage tank represents a new era of photovoltaics. Having a solar power storage tank, allows you to have your clean energy (produced during the day) in the evening, when the plant does not produce. This is the best way to make the most of your system and to increase your autonomy from the mains. A photovoltaic system with no solar power storage tank, will never allow a total saving on energy costs, because in the absence of batteries all the energy produced during daylight hours, if not consumed, it is sold to the grid.
The energy storage units are not big. In particular, BPT-S 5 Hybrid with a footprint of less than one square meter and a height of 175 cm, has more or less the size of a refrigerator. It is also fully integrated and autonomous: all the components necessary for the accumulation and supply of self-produced solar energy are in the same unit.
Considering the small size of the unit, the installation of the accumulator photovoltaics requires minimal efforts. The installation of the storage system must be done in a dry environment, such as a basement or a garage. You only need a wall socket and an Internet connection. BPT-S 5 Hybrid components are provided on three pallets and assembled on site. Once the connections and wiring are set, the solar power storage tank can work immediately. Normally, storage tank installation takes only two hours.
