How to: Run a Diesel Genset on Veggie Oil, Off Grid Solar

Описание: Most off-grid solar systems incorporate a fossil fuel component being a Genset and in many cases, diesel is the fuel of choice.

The cost of running a generator on diesel is substantial and not very sustainable but what if veggie oil was used with diesel?

This presentation looks at how much diesel is used with an off-grid solar system with an assumed average daily load, the method of introducing a veggie oil component, and what are the cost savings after implementing this strategy.

Enjoy.
