Clearjoule has set themselves up as alternative energy solutions provider. We design, supply, operate, maintain and install solar photovoltaic (pv) systems in rural, residential, commercial and industrial applications. We also supply bio-enzymes utilized for enhancing production and quality of biogas produced from various anerobic processes.
Coal has been one of the most predominant products used to produce centralized electricity in the recent times. This meant huge infrastructure costs were required to build electrical grids and supply of electricity. This model worked well on more densely populated areas where electrical grids could reach a group of people in small areas. In rural set-up like farms, villages and so on, where dwellings are far apart, the cost of setting up centralized grids are much more expensive.
Coal-fired power utilities have in recent times struggled to keep the lights on at a reasonable price. The technology associated with the use of coal from power stations has had challenges maintaining air quality standards, and the release of greenhouses gases from combustion processes. Utilities are facing rising costs for electricity production.
Why should you consider alternative energy sources?
1. Solar Energy
Africa is perfectly positioned to harness the energy from the sun. We have enough light throughout the year to take advantage of the sun. The best part of it is that, its free!! Solar energy has proven over time that it can be considered as a reliable alternative energy source. Improving technology and mass production of solar pv systems have seen the price of solar technology sharply declining in recent years – making it a more viable alternative source. Some of the key benefits of going solar includes:
• Cost savings as a result of reduced energy bill or no electrical bill once the system is installed -depending on system installed
• Less dependency on the grid, thus less untimely blackouts which can affect your business
• Long guarantees on individual components, solar panels between 20 to 25 years. So, the payback period is usually less than 10 years depending on system installed, thereafter you enjoy free electricity
• Most of the components are stationary – no moving parts which requires routine and expensive maintenance. These components are almost maintenance free.
• Latest generation of inverters and other systems include functionality for remote monitoring.
• Realtime monitoring for you to see when you use energy the most and your energy consumption behaviour
• These systems could be de-centralized, that is, used in areas where there are no electrical grids or where the cost off setting up an electrical infrastructure would be expensive
• Everyone can have basic access to electricity at a reasonable rate
Clearjoule will assist you with the following:
• Assessment of your energy bill or energy consumption
• Advice on improving your energy efficiency as a starting point – that is considering products, solutions and behaviours that encourage energy savings
• Design a system that would meet your needs
• Financial analysis
• Supply of solar based products
• Installation of your system
• Maintenance and operation of your system

2. Waste to Energy
Clearjoule would like to assist in protecting natural resources and maximize the use of existing materials such as waste from wastewater treatment works (WWTW), animal manure from agricultural processes and other organic baring processes such as food waste, plants, etc. Harnessing energy from waste that occurs in nature goes a long way in preserving our natural resources. The natural biodegration processes utilized to produce electrical energy from these processes have indicated to be viable in terms of cost and other environmental benefits that they offer.
Clearjoule supplies anaerobic bacteria to boost the yield and quality of the biogas produced from such processes and thus yield more energy as a result
