Description:

The Othona Community is an open Christian community. These portal pages are for our centre at Bradwell on Sea in Essex, here we are along way from the grid and very close to the sea. You can find out more about us from our web site www.othona.org or the 'about us' page. Because we are distant from the grid we are off-grid. Our system consists of a 5kW wind turbine, 4kW PV array, 10kW gas powered generator and a Sunny Island 5048 as our main inverter. We hope that these web pages will show our committment to renewable energy and in turn our committment to the care of the planet. We also use these pages to monitor the performance of the system and some of these pages are difficult to explain simply. The picture is our Solar Building which has been built largely by volunteers and has won awards for its design.

On the 8/8/18 our inverter failed. The replacement inverter SI 8.0H works differently to the old one and this had a huge impact on this website. Over time we would like to replace the diagrams with more meaningful one (with data in them) please bear with us unti this is completed.
