Endelevu EcoSmart Solar Village
Endelevu Villages will be sustainable village's that offer high quality shelter to the inhabitants and generate electricity through the combined generation of the village roofs using photovoltaic systems managed by virtual power plant technology, and produce hot water from the sun with solar thermal technology. The solar power plants are incorporated within the construction as a structural component of the housing instead of an integration to them.
 
The sale of the energy from the solar component of the housing will produce a profit stream that acts as a subsidization towards the housing and social welfare The Endelevu Solar Housing model was created by the Ergon Solair R&D team lead by the CEO as a means to promote an upgraded rural lifestyle therefore creating a disincentive to internal migration towards mega cities.
The Settlement is planned to accommodate 250-300 households for a total population of 900-1000 inhabitants, serviced with local generation, water and waste management, roads, health clinic, school, and recreational spaces such as basketball court, and a covered community center for festive activities. The Village will be a powerhouse, powering also local commercial and industrial activities, mobility and farming
The project will address in particular the following UN Agenda 2030 Goals:
GOAL 3 Good Health and Wellbeing
GOAL 6 Water and Sanitation
GOAL 7 Clean Energy
GOAL 13 Climate Action
The project will use EPS panels for construction, these enable the construction of residential and industrial units using a building system that replaces traditional reinforced concrete and masonry in both horizontal and vertical parts, for roofing, walling and flooring. The major advantages of the panel system are that construction is fast and economical while providing a building product that is superior in most respects to the traditional house.
The combined advantages of the building technology (low emission, reduction in resource
consumption and lower water usage), smart design, efficient components, structural inclusion of green energy generation, and energy efficiency, will result in buildings with a high level of climate resiliency and Edge compliant.
