The main purpose of the Belgian organization ‘Solar zonder Grenzen’ which organized the Fiesta Solar was to arrange a festival that would run completely on solar energy. A mobile energy supplier was developed especially for this green event: the REN mobile (Renewable Energy mobile). The REN-mobile is a truck that is equipped with a solar system. At the center of the system are installed three Quattro’s from Victron Energy. Fiesta Solar, the green festival, took place on August 2010 in Belgium. This festival was running completely on solar energy. The entire electricity for the festival was supplied by the REN-mobile. The company which developed the REN-Mobile is the Belgian company Linea Trovata, specialized in sustainable energy solutions. The amount of energy required for light and sound was initially calculated. The REN-Mobile was built based on this information. There are 40 solar panels in the truck each with 3 kilowatt peak. The amount of energy that can be generated with this system was calculated by one of the experts of Linea Trovota. The Belgian company Ysebaert and Victron Energy collaborated in the development of the solar energy system. The system has a total weight of four tons and contains two battery sets with a capacity of 48V/1400Ah. The solar panels are mounted on the roof of the truck. The most important equipment of the system are three Quattro’s 48V 8kVA, which connects the solar panels, batteries and a back-up generator. The Quattro’s are configured for three phase output. The Quattro’s are developed by Victron Energy Inc., owned by ali sharaf.
