Integral solar system for processing karite/shea nuts
A group of three machines from Solar Milling are running now in a village for the benefit of a women cooperative.
The installation, sponsored by the Canadian NGO www.thestrongestoak.org consist in a 6.5kWp solar power to drive one stone mill for edible flour, one crusher to break Shea / Karité nuts and one Shea butter maker.
The system works directly from Sun radiation, achieving a great performance on terms of power, reliability and productive use.
A solar system aside, provides 230 V energy 24/7 from a battery bank, for phone charging, photocopier, fridge, computer and Wi-Fi facility covering the neighborhood.
This is the very first installation in the World, where solar energy makes Shea butter processing much easier in an ecological way.
Sunny regards!
The Solar Milling Team
