Powering machines with solar electricity
“What convinced us about the Crambo 5000 e-mobile? There were several points,” says Martin Jungen. “Firstly, it was very important to us that it was an electrically driven machine. As an energy producer, we are striving to move away from fossil fuels. Komptech was one of the first suppliers with e-machines on the market and thus one step ahead of the competition – that convinced us. We produce a relatively large amount of electricity via our photovoltaic system, and if you’re already producing your own electricity, why not use it yourself?”
The ability to use the Crambo 5000 e-mobile situationally is of great importance to Oberland Energie. Martin Jungen explains: “This means that if the solar radiation is really good and there is enough energy, then we want to run the machine. We are optimising the process, the energy produced should be enough.”
