The houses sit three hectares of land.  Fresh water is pumped to a 20,000lt tank from a water mine. The tank acts as a head of water to the houses and for irrigation. Electricity is generated by a bank of solar panels, stored in 24 batteries (a 48 volt system) and converted to 220/240 volts by two Victron 5 kw invertors. Back up is provided by a Mitsubishi engine which drives a Stanton generator producing 13 kw. Telephone and Wi-Fi are connected to three of the houses.
