At CREATech, we design, fabricate, and install appropriate technologies for off-grid energy, water resources and sustainable agriculture. All our technology is built from years of experience and extensive projects in off-grid communities all over the Philippines.
These technologies are available for both public and private clients. They can ensure that you have a clean and sustainable power supply, renewable or energy free water distribution and customised farming equipment to support sustainable agriculture. We can also provide site studies and installation services.
Renewable energy systems
1. Micro hydro turbine
We are the only fabricators of micro hydro turbines in the Philippines. Generating clean, green electricity from natural water resources like rivers and springs. We can design and install systems to supply up to 100kW of electricity to your property or situ. T14 Micro hydro turbines are very efficient and use less water compared to other types of turbines including the smaller sizes like the T12. The water is directed from a river or spring into the turbine system which is then connected to a generator to supply electricity. Once the system is installed, the electricity generated is free! See our case studies for examples of where this technology has been put into practice.

Please note that the sizing of the turbine will depend on the water source (head, flow rate and required power).
2. Solar power system
Solar power is a plentiful resource in the Philippines, our solar power systems can be designed for your needs. It is most efficient for use and can be used during the day with larger loads such as electric fans, cold storage, water heating and storage, for around 4 hours per day. The electricity is generated during the day can be stored in batteries until it is required, and used in domestic lighting or perimeter lighting for security purposes in the evening or early morning. This can enable you to reduce your electric bill rather than paying grid suppliers. The number of panels in the system will be defined by your requirements.

WATER DISTRIBUTION
1. Hydraulic ram pump
Used for potable or irrigation, hydraulic ram pump systems can be designed and installed in your situ or property. If there is a water source such as a river or spring which is lower than where you need it, we can build a system that delivers the water to exactly where you want it. Using only the power of gravity, the system can lift the water from a river or spring to a height much higher than the fall of water which already exists. We design systems according to your required output and the water resource available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
2. Solar water pump
Used for household use or irrigation, solar pump systems can be designed and installed in your community or property. If there is a water source such as a well which is lower than where you need it, we can build a system that delivers the water to exactly where you want it. Using the power of the sun, the system can lift the water from a well or still body of water. We design systems according to your required output and the water resource available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

3. Gravity water systems
Used for household use or irrigation, gravity water systems can be designed and installed in your situ or property. If there is a water source such as a river or spring which is uphill but far from where you need the water to be, we can build a system that delivers the water to exactly where you want it. We design systems according to your required output and the water resource available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Tools for Organic Agriculture
1. Resilient greenhouse
Greenhouses can significantly reduce the heat of direct sun and the direct impact of damaging heavy rains on your crops to increase your yield. We can provide both fixed and collapsible greenhouses depending on your needs.
Dimensions |
5x9m |
Structural |
Steel piping |
Walls |
Fine netting |
Roof |
Ultra Violet resistant plastic netting |
2. Mechanical weeder
Our weeders were designed because of the need to remove weeds from fields without chemicals as part of sustainable agriculture practices. No such products are commercially available to remove the weeds in between rice and vegetable crops as an alternative to using artificial chemical weed killer. The weeder is pushed along by hand to remove the weeds from between the crops. We have 2 different designs, on for wet fields and one for drier fields.
