Solar radiation can be converted to useful energy as either thermal or electrical power. Thermal energy is generally transferred in fluids. Electrical energy is produced through photovoltaic cells. Zusma has expertise for both solar thermal systems and solar photovoltaic - both on and off the grid. Our services include:

• Pre-feasibility and feasibility analysis
• System design
• Project management
• System evaluation
• System monitoring

Wind

To be viable, wind electricity depends most often on three things: Community acceptance, Wind resource and good returns. Zusma's experience and its network of wind specialists can provide sound advice and management to turn a plan for wind development into a reality. Our services include:

• Pre-feasibility and feasibility analysis
• Wind monitoring services including tower deployment, data, acquisition, analysis and evaluation
• Community consultation
• Grid connection studies
• Project management

Hydro

With proper planning and assessment of resources and equipment, small and micro hydro generation is a proven and dependable source of electricity. Zusma and its network of hydro-specialists provide:


• Feasibility assessment
• Design
• Training
• Project management

Biomass

Cost effective use of biomass is complicated - depending as much on a low-cost, dependable supply of feedstock as it does on an effective technology. Zusma has expertise in solid and gaseous conversion of biomass to energy and provides the following services:

• Feasibility assessment
• Design
• Training
• Project management

Hybrid

Hybrid systems typically integrate renewable technologies with storage solutions and fossil fuel generators. They are controlled by power electronics systems which can be designed to maximize the use of renewables, resulting in a system with lower emissions and cost than traditional fossil-fueled technologies, while maintaining power quality, availability and other desired attributes. Our services include:

• Feasibility assessment
• Design
• Training
• Project management
