SQFlex

The Index Project

The Index Project
Copenhagen, Denmark

Design is no longer simply about form and function, innovation and trends, but also about attitudes and responsibility – for example with regards to the availability of resources and environmental issues.

The SQFlex system succeeds where other pump systems struggle, by adapting to the characteristic weather profile of any given area. By analyzing such location specific variables as average sunshine and wind speed, the system is able to calculate how much natural energy is available over an average season.

The SQFlex system brings water to places where nature does not – third-world countries, for example. It is a reliable water supply system based on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. By ensuring a reliable water supply in areas with extreme climates and without a reliable electricity supply, the system improves the quality of life and general health in many places around the world. With the SQFlex system, areas that have previously been considered uninhabitable or unable to sustain life have become viable and attractive. The SQFlex is sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The system has addressed and solved basic problems concerning the consumption and supply of energy by making it possible to choose between different sources of energy, depending on the circumstances.
