Akwaba Elephant D'OR
Solar power plant 300kW
Plant for the processing of cocoa mass and cocoa butter
Off-grid photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 300kW at the location of Central Africa (Ivory Coast) covering a constant consumption of 150kW, taking into account the conditions, high insolation and the need for energy storage (batteries) for night consumption or cloudy days.
BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM
