More energy from the sun!

it — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:29:08 +0000

Experts have considered that our solar collectors , show a very good maintainance; however they have been in service for 25 years!

Now works began to replace 80 solar collectors (91 m2) for 25 new flat plate collectors from CONSTANTE SOLAR model CU-1208-P (61 m2).

This will increase the energy performance from our current the installation:
25, 346 kWh per year (Solarwatt)
+ 46, 422 kWh per year (new CS CU-1208-P)
= 71,770 kWh / year

which will represent savings of 47% of energy needed for the production of quality hot water.

The sand carpet in La Orovata is emerging

it — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:44:47 +0000

In the historic town of La Orotava, the largest sand carpet in the world is being prepared for the Corpus Cristi festival (June 10th) , in front of the La Orotava Town Hall.

The plaza measures 46.5 metres x 10.50 metres, with a total surface of 950 square metres, and 912 metres of usable space. Materials used to make this magnificent carpet are chiefly collected from the volcanic region of Las Cañadas, and the sands’ colours are all totally natural. Some sand is sifted in situ if possible and brought down from Teide almostready for use, the rest is brought down in chunks that have to be ground and pounded before they can be sifted finely enough for the carpets.
