Conditions
SOLAR POWERED VILLA
Duboka Bay Villas is a solar powered community. Folie a Deux electric power is sourced from solar energy and stored in batteries. All lights, appliances and power outlets are powered by large capacity batteries, with the exception of the washing machine, dish washer, and electric ovens. These high wattage appliances are directly connected to a generator.
Because of the “clean environment” design of the houses, we ask guests to use the following energy saving practices:
Switch off lights when leaving a room. Turn off and disconnect TV when not in use. Turn off outdoor lights when returning home. Disconnect phone, camera and computer chargers from wall sockets once they have been charged and not in use. Use only low wattage appliances - these include fans, DVD player, computers, iPODs, cell phones and similar devices. Conserve water by turning off taps when not in use.
High wattage appliances such as hair dryers, toasters, coffee machines, electric kettles, irons, and other appliances, which have heating elements/coils cannot be used in the villa. Use of such high wattage appliances will deplete, and can potentially damage, the batteries.
Villa Galleria is a solar home designed to respect the nature and beauty of our island and to preserve the environment. The villa has a small environmental footprint with solar power, generator for backup and large appliances and cistern for water. We kindly ask guests to be environmentally conscientious during their stay and to refrain from using appliances with heating coils such as hair dryers, irons, curlers, coffee machines, etc.
Please ask at any time if you would like more information on the villa’s environmental systems, usage or design.
