From this he is able to design a tailor-made solution, advise on the likely energy cost savings that a family may gain over time to produce and store only the necessary energy required for their installation. He sees little point in over specifying a system with unnecessary or superfluous costs. Along with this he also advises on heating regulation and housing insulation improvements.<\/p>\n<p>By using his solar trailer and associated Victron equipment\u00a0St\u00e9phane is able to clearly demonstrate how his installations work and of course provide a hands on experience to his potential customers. This mobile solar trailer unit is a great talking point at such fairs and naturally we are delighted St\u00e9phane Bulard has chosen Victron Energy products for this.
