AAP Animal Advocacy and Protection<\/a> has been rescuing exotic animals from illegal trafficking, abuse, laboratory testing and travelling shows for over forty years.<\/p>\n

More recently their facility in the Alicante region of Spain – Primadomus<\/a> – offers a permanent home to exotic animals which cannot be returned to the wild, or rehoused elsewhere. The\u00a0centre offers a better life to primates and big cats which have been held captive for years often in appalling conditions …causing misery, poor health, and all too frequently death.<\/p>\n

The first primates were accepted at Primadomus in 2009. The first Big Cats arrived in 2015, and a year later all 24 cat enclosures were ready for occupation.<\/p>\n

The facility has its own offices, quarantine and veterinary surgery – which together with specialist installations for animal feeding necessitate the operation of power-hungry climate-control and refrigeration-plants in an area which is remote from the electricity grid.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, basking in Spanish sunshine most days, the choice of solar energy was a natural choice<\/p>\n

They discussed their energy requirements with local installers Tecnovasol Energy<\/a> – who specialise in green energy systems. \u00a0With their own engineering department they design and build Solar and Geothermal energy accumulation installations to both corporate and private users.<\/p>\n

The installation at AAP Primadomus uses Lithium storage and has a generator back up:<\/p>\n
