Solar Water Heating Systems

Solar water heating doesn’t have to be expensive. As hot water is lighter than cold water, water can circulate without a pump if the hot water reservoir is placed 30 cm above the panels: the sun will do the work and Eco Terra Invest offers complete kits and installation.

Waste Management, Water Treatment and Supply and Waste Water Treatment Systems

Eco Terra Invest has partners with a well established knowledge on these sectors and can implement it in the design and planning of the ‘master plans’ for the communities. We also provide advice on individual cases on the best solution to adopt for that particular case.

This knowledge applies to housing or industrial facilities and it covers the sectors of waste management, collection, treatment and disposal as well as water treatment/water supply and waste water collection and treatment.

Hydroponic & Aquaponic Systems

These systems allow for an increase in self-sufficiency by growing vegetables while having aquaculture within the same system. The main advantage is the avoidance of fertilisers in Aquaponics but if we are just using Hydroponics  we only use ecological fertilisers as well as low water consumption.

In Aquaponics the water from fish tanks is pumped to the plants growth beds, filtered out and converted by the plants as nutrients. The clean water is then led back to the fish tank. Without the conversion of the fish’s toxic ammonia to nitrates, a special filter for the fish tank would be necessary. Aside from evaporation, the water balance in the system keeps steady. As plantation can be horizontal as well as vertical, aquaponic systems require a third of the space as conventional agriculture.

Most of the green leaf vegetables are suitable for aquaponic systems as well as a number of other vegetables and fruits, like tomato, cucumber, egg-plants, sweet potatoes, water melons and even strawberries. The most common and easy to care fish are tilapia. The climate conditions do not make external heating necessary. Additionally, food conversion with tilapia is better than with other fish species.

Micro Smart Grids

In simple terms these are the power distribution networks that take electricity to each house and building to power all the utilities and appliances in these buildings.

EcoTerraInvest has developed its own brand solar2go in a way that the community can be totally self-sustainable and off-grid through the use of solar panels, accumulators (batteries), wind turbines, hydrogen and/or biofuel backup generators, etc.

These are all connected through a smart grid that balances the different electricity needs in each house and building, making it a totally sustainable and carbon zero system.
