Ugezi Energy Group – Innovative Energy Solutions

Ugezi Energy Group was founded in 2018 and is a growing SMME business. Ugezi Energy Group has successfully installed numerous electrical services and energy saving technologies in various industries and applications. The installation of electrical services and energy saving technologies has now become a major client requirement due to various reasons:

• High costs for low peak, standard and high peak energy from Eskom and Municipalities.
• High maintenance on more conventional energy saving schemes, i.e. lighting, generators, gas, etc.
• Inconsistent power supply in rural areas by Eskom.
• New development in the commercial market
• High demand on qualified artisans
• High demand on quality workmanship
• Warrantees and guarantees

1. Lighting

Ugezi Energy Group offer any light fitting supplied by the main lighting wholesalers, to name just a few: Radiant, Eurolux, Spazio, Bright Star Lighting, Meteor, Philips SA, G&E, Osram and can supply and install all variables of light fittings – outdoor, indoor and commercial e.g.

1. LED Down Lights: LED lamps have a lifespan and electrical efficiency that is several times better than incandescent lamps, and significantly better than most fluorescent lamps, with some chips able to emit more than 100 lumens per watt and comes in a variety of wattages.

1. T5 Fluorescent Retrofit (2FT, 4FT and 5FT): T5 Retrofit fixtures are new technology of T5 electronic ballast fitted inside the unique aluminum fixtures designed to retrofit the old fluorescent system in result of high saving rate, up to 60%. They are retrofitted fixtures designed to provide a best solution to upgrade conventional systems using electromagnetic ballast to the very latest T5 electronic ballast technology and T12 florescent lamp and provide numerous immediate and lasting benefits including energy saving, no wiring work, short pay-back period, quick installation, better light quality, eye protection, high power factor, etc.

1. Flood Lights and Spotlights 10w – 400w: 230v waterproof LED flood light and spot light uses up to 10 times less electricity than its retrofit alternative. It is ideal for exterior applications like gardens, parking areas, courts, etc.

Flood Light Spotlight

1. LED Tubes (2FT, 4FT and 5FT): They are environment friendly and energy saving, long lifespan, high brightness, good color rendering and low power consumption. High quality LED as the light source. Expert heat sinking design with high brightness performance. Widely used for indoor lighting: hotel, restaurant, shops, business lighting, home lighting, etc.

1. Waterproof Silicone Sleeve Strip/ Rope Light: 12v Dimmable LED flexible strip light that is encased in a waterproof silicone sleeve and is ideal for counter tops and bars.

1. High Bay: High bay light that uses up to 50% less electricity. It is ideal for interior applications like warehouses, stores, high roof buildings etc. The life expectancy of this globe is 50000 hours with a calculated light degradation of less than 20% over this period.

1. Metal Halide Lamps: They have an average life of 15,000-20,000+ hours, more than ten times that of incandescent. The output of metal halide lamps is closer to natural sunlight than most other light sources. People prefer white light because of better visual acuity, even at lower light levels.

1. CFL Energy Savers: Is a fluorescent lamp designed and used to replace an incandescent lamp. CFLs use one-fifth to one-third the electric power and lasts eight to fifteen times longer. CFLs are similar in colour to standard incandescent lamps and are available in a variety of different wattages.

1. Air Conditioners, Heat Pumps, Solar Solutions

Ugezi Energy Group offer the additional energy saving experience through a Partnership with DEA Technologies, who specializes in Air Conditioning, Heat Pump and Solar Solutions. We can supply and install various brands, namely Samsung, LG, Alliance Air, York, ITS, and are not limited to these fine brands.

1. Heat Pumps: A domestic hot water heat pump is a very efficient water heating device. It uses a small amount of electricity to produce up to four times more heat energy. A 4.7kW heat pump will heat the water slightly faster than a 4kW electrical element typically found in 200L geysers. The 4.7kW heat pump produces 4.7kW of thermal energy under specified conditions while using as little as 1.2kW to do so.
2. Solar Evacuated Tubes Direct or Indirect: Evacuated Tube Heat Pipe solar collector technology is one of the cutting-edge technologies when it comes to solar water heating panels Combining the incredible insulating properties of a vacuum with the latest technology in selective absorptive coatings this product offers the highest thermal output even under the worst of weather condition.

1. Solar Flat Plate Direct or Indirect: Flat plate solar collector technology is one of the oldest and most widely used technologies in solar water heating panels. The simplicity of the technology makes it easy to manufacture offering absolutely great value for money.

1. PV Panels: Solar panel electricity systems, also known as solar photovoltaics’ (PV), capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. Cut your electricity bills: sunlight is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be reduced.

1. Air Conditioners: They are cheap and reasonably powerful, capacity range of between 9000-24000 Btu’s. They have a heating and/or cooling ability and are easy to install through a window or wall area. Direct fresh air intake for excellent air quality and remote-control operation on some models.

Generators:

We can supply and install the following brands of generators (single or three phase, diesel or petrol):

• John Deere (SMDO)
• Kipor
• Honda
• Mitshibishi
• Cummins
• Bundu
• Navigator

UPS/Inverters and battery packs:

We can supply and install various UPS and Inverter packs for use in residential properties, office environments and server rooms:

• Riello
• Fire Fly
• Sentinel
• APC
• Victron
• Trojan battery packs

Solar:

The components of these systems include solar modules (to convert energy into electrical current), batteries (to receive and store electrical current), a charge regulator (to regulate the solar current into the battery) and loads (anything that runs on electricity).

The business will mainly concentrate on installing three different sizes of photovoltaic solar power units. The first is relatively small, 500watts. The daily output of this system 2.75 kWh, which can support the use of two light bulbs, a radio or small clock, a range oven, colour TV and VCR or DVD, and a washing machine (one load of laundry a day).

The second system is 1,000 watts and produces 5.51 kWh a day. This system can support the same things that the 500-watt system can support as well as a small stovetop burner and a freezer.

The third system is 1,500 watts and produces 8.26 kWh daily. This system can support all of the above as well as a space heater (used for four hours a day) or a computer and printer and microwave. These are just examples of items that the system(s) will support. 

For large private residences and small to corporate businesses, we offer a system that could range from 1 MW to 500 MW systems. These systems are integrated and could be added to provide more than the 500MW mentioned above.

Residential Off-Grid Systems:

In order to meet the needs of different customers, highly versatile standalone solar electric power systems were designed for individual houses. The main feature of the systems is that they can be expanded in output capacity to meet the increase in energy requirements of customers. 

There are two designs offered:  System I meet the basic lighting and refrigerator (2.9 cubic feet) loads of a one bedroom dwelling and System II meets the requirement of System I and the additional loads of a personal computer, radio, and television. The two systems are designed to be standalone power systems without a back-up power source.  For ease of installation and to offer reliable and efficient operation, the system designs are standardized for all customers based upon local irradiation, weather data, and a generalized power consumption model.

There is also the possibility that large installations will be done.  These installations would be for clusters of housing, where there is more than one single dwelling (or other needs) at a location.  The system needs will vary depending upon the size of the housing cluster. 

There may also be a need for a meter at each housing unit.
