 DESIGN DELIVER © 2008 Sustainable Living Projects
Sustainable Living Projects has emerged as a leader in the field of
sustainable progress by bringing practical solutions to private and commercial
sectors in South Africa.
Many aspects of sustainable development, including energy efficiency, renewable
energy, and water conservation need to be addressed on the ground level. Many
processes, policies and proposals by government and private entities need to be
implemented. From this realisation, Sustainable Living Projects developed its
functional toolbox in order to support efficient living.
SLP offers complete turnkey services for analysing projects, assessing
feasible areas of intervention, and creating solutions. We provide the optimal
solution by using premium products that are best suited to the project.
Our toolbox includes a range of services and products covering the
fields of:
- Solar
power
- Wind
power
- Solar
thermal heating and cooling
- Water
recycling and treatment
- Consulting
and auditing services
- Carbon
foot printing
- Sustainable
building
Within these fields we offer feasibility studies, project and system
designs, supply of equipment and products, customised solutions, and professional
services for the consultation and implementation of the project. |

This storage tank then feeds pre-heated water to the geyser, thereby greatly reducing the amount of electric power necessary to bring this water to the thermostatically controlled temperature required. Solar water heating systems can also be used to directly heat swimming pool water.
In addition to the energy cost savings on water heating, there are other benefits derived from using the sun’s energy to heat water; for example where sufficient sunlight is available certain systems would not consume any electricity, ensuring hot water supply during from power outages. |

Introduction  A small array of photovoltaic panels © Sustainable Living Projects.
Photovoltaic systems use solar panels – made up of individual PV cells – to turn daylight into electricity. A PV cell is made up of one or two layers of a semi-conducting material.
When light shines on the cell, it creates an electric field across the layers – and causes electricity to flow. And the more light the cell receives, the more electricity it can generate. |
