Desafío

Angel Rock Project South Africa es una organización sin fines de lucro que trabaja para brindar a la comunidad de Diesploot, un municipio de bajos ingresos posterior al apartheid en Johannesburgo, el apoyo que tanto necesita. Al reconocer la necesidad en la escuela primaria Musenga Vhadzimu Primary School en Diesploot, Angel Rock buscó proporcionar agua potable limpia y confiable para los estudiantes, el personal y las abuelas de la comunidad en el campus de la escuela.

La falta de una infraestructura de agua confiable en los municipios posteriores al apartheid hace que los miembros de la comunidad dependan de métodos poco confiables de recolección de agua, como pozos de perforación y tanques de agua de lluvia. Junto con los desafíos provocados por el cambio climático, como lluvias impredecibles y sequías prolongadas, la comunidad necesitaba un método de suministro de agua potable fuera de la red y totalmente renovable.

Proyecto SOURCE

En asociación con Angel Rock South Africa y SOURCE, la escuela primaria Musenga Vhadzimu Primary School instaló 45 hidropaneles en la primera fase de su iniciativa de agua potable limpia para toda la escuela. Hoy en día, los estudiantes y las abuelas de los grados 1-3 viven con la tranquilidad de que su suministro de agua potable es limpio y resiliente, y está a su disposición desde los grifos de SOURCE colocados alrededor de la escuela. En el futuro, la instalación se ampliará para satisfacer las necesidades de todo el campus.

Hydropanel General Installation Requirements:

  • Sunny mounting location – The SOURCE Hydropanel works best in full sun. Unobstructed sunlight required at least 5 hours per day. Avoid placing under shading objects such as trees, buildings, etc.
  • 4 x 6 foot (1.2 x 1.8 meters) mounting area per Hydropanel.
  • Minimum clearance of 1ft (30cm) in front of and behind the panels to allow access for service.
  • Minimum 3 inches (8 cm) between hydropanels from side to side within an array.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be installed at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from windows and should be positioned considering hydropanel sound with respect to living spaces.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be level from side-to-side with a maximum deviation of 20mm.
  • Hydropanel must be South Facing (180°) for locations in the Northern Hemisphere, or North facing (0°) for locations in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The installation surface must be level. For example, a flat roof, or level ground.
  • Roof mounted hydropanels must be at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the edge of any structure.
  •  
  • Adequate structural integrity of the roof is required. Do not install on a roof that is damaged or otherwise insufficient to hold the weight and wind loads of the hydropanel.
  •  
  • Consider whether there is space for a crane to set up and lift the hydropanels to their mounting location.
  • Ground locations should be firm, level, and evenly composed. The hydropanel can be placed on blocks, concrete, or mounted to lumber to provide a stable base to sit on.
  •  
  • Consider factors like soil composition, and how to manage erosion or plant growth over time.
  •  
  • Avoid installing the hydropanel where they may be wetted from irrigation sprinklers.
  •  
  • Ensure the hydropanel is raised above the specified flood plain.
  •  
  • Hydropanel should be anchored to the ground or sufficiently ballasted to prevent movement or damage from high winds.

Hydropanel Calculator

The amount of water you consume will determine how many panels you’ll need and the size of tanks we recommend. Use our calculator below for our panel and tank recommendation.

Each panel produces on average 180 bottles per month (16.9 oz bottles). For a more accurate estimation based on your location use this tool.
