Off grid solutions

When solar power gives isolated installations access to energy

The optimum solution

Photovoltaic solar installations are the optimum solution for isolated areas not connected to an electricity distribution network. The installations can be configured for a variety of functions: heating, water pumping, telecommunications or electrification.


Solutions Off-gridTELECOMS: when solar power provides access to communication

The globalisation of communication systems

The telecommunications infrastructures (cellular, microwave radio-relay systems, optical, etc.) are multiplying in isolated sites to maximise territorial coverage.
To ensure the continuity of communications and cover sometimes huge distances, these installations require very high energy efficiency with limited maintenance and servicing.


Recognised Tenesol experience

Being the main supplier of the largest global telecoms companies like Orange, Alcatel and Mobitel, Tenesol has installed thousands of photovoltaic generators specific to this application across the world.



Solutions Off-gridOIL & GAS: when solar power is used for oil and gas operations

Isolated sites by nature and in need of a reliable energy input

Gas and oil extraction and routing facilities are by their very nature located in isolated areas far from the electrical grid.
Powering these sites must be extremely reliable for obvious safety reasons. Photovoltaic solar power is used in this type of application to power pipeline protection systems as well as luminous signs or nocturnal lighting on onshore or offshore oil platforms.


Long-term involvement for Tenesol

Tenesol supplies energy to huge oil and gas installations in North Africa, the Middle East and South America. We are recognised today as real specialists in photovoltaic solar power for oil and gas applications.


Solar pumping: when solar power provides water in out-of-the-way places

Solar power, often the only option for pumping drinking water

Drinking water - or more aptly blue gold - is a precious commodity for men, beasts and the irrigation of land. The water tables must be exploited with extreme care. In addition, there can sometimes be plenty of water but it is undrinkable. With no electric grid, photovoltaic solar pumping is therefore the optimum solution for drawing water.
The photovoltaic solar pumping systems convert the sun's rays into electricity to power a submerged pump in a borehole or well.


Isolated sites: when solar power provides isolated houses with energy

Optimum solution

Photovoltaic solar installations are the optimum solution for isolated, off-grid residential areas. The installations can be configured to suit a variety of functions: running a fridge, lighting a living space, listening to the radio, watching the TV or working on a computer. Isolated populations can thus enjoy a better quality of life!
