Tell us about your project

The region

The Mediterranean has beautiful and sunny weather all the year round with 60% sunshine most months. It is a large area extending from Portugal in the west to Lebanon in the east. The Mediterranean touches three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa and for thousands of years was the centre of European civilisation even though that started in Asia (Babylon and Persia) and Africa (Egypt) culminating in the Roman and Byzantine empires and later the Ottoman. Even when European trade and expansion switched to the oceans it was Mediterranean countries — Spain and Portugal and Genoese sailors who started the process discovering the Americas and finding a new route to South East Asia.

Ideal conditions for solar energy

Climate and weather conditions vary but all of the islands and the mainland provide ideal conditions for solar energy. Every minute 1,380 watts reach each square metre of land. Thats a lot of energy to be converted into a free and reliable energy source. Energy output for solar is high in the Mediterranean, in excess of 1700 kWh per annum on the European side including most of Italy, Spain and the Balkans. In North Africa, Cyprus, parts of Greece, Portugal, Turkey and Lebanon solar is in excess of 2,000.

Your bespoke system

At Off-grid Installer we build solar container modular units in Britain so they are ready to be installed on your chosen site in the Mediterranean. We can provide power for a house or a hotel; a hospital, a resort complex and a school indeed any client needing green energy including EV charging points. The container is also used to ship the solar panels mounted by our team when the container arrives at the site.  Its also designed to withstand extreme conditions that occasionally effect the Mediterranean including earthquakes and volcanoes. The Mediterranean is one of the most unstable areas of the world with frequent and violent earthquakes and active volcanoes in Italy, Greece and Turkey.

The only cost is the equipment including the container with payback in 6 or 7 years and every day you have free, clean energy for all your needs both day and night. Payback is based on a 15 year lifespan for batteries and equipment but in practice the average life is much great and solar panels can easily operate 40 years. So everything above 15 years is a bonus with maintenance being the only cost. Off-grid Installer are available to help architects and developers of housing or commercial developments to satisfy the energy needs of their clients. We can make your task easier whether the development is on a remote island or in the centre of a large city and post covid keen to reduce your carbon footprint.

Economic growth in the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean region is making a comeback driven by tourism but also vigorous economic growth in new industries and services. Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens, Istanbul and Cairo are once again great cities and we can expect others to join them in the coming years including Beirut, Tunis, Casablanca and Tel Aviv and they will all need pollution free energy at a time of ever warmer conditions.

The southern parts of Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Egypt include areas of the Sahara desert, the largest desert region in the world with very high levels of insolation. Their political links with countries on the Mediterranean littoral mean that energy as a resource is a resource to be developed just as fossil fuels have been over the last 100 years. At present Algeria ships gas by the Mahgreb pipeline to Spain and Portugal. Its certain that over the next 100 years Algeria will be shipping solar energy using the same routes and destinations except that power becomes available for the whole of Europe.

Solar is the most economical power source

Solar is now the cheapest source of power in the world and in the Mediterranean it’s the most economical and user friendly power source available and with very low maintenance. No more unreliable high price grid power. You will be surprised by the price of your mini power station when compared with grid power.

Green in a green environment means no pollution, no noise, free energy and more than you will ever need. And of course no carbon dioxide emissions, no methane and if you live on a small island far from the grid or your grid is unreliable, solar is the energy you need to preserve your pristine environment.

All our solar containers are made in the heart of England to a high standard and our team completes the installation on your site including mounting of the solar panels. All planning of the layout and location is agreed many weeks before the arrival at your site. Complete installation is completed in just a few days and all installations are connected to our remote monitoring unit in Britain. We can ship by sea or road to most destinations.
