High Power Demands High Quality

Skyllermarks and Sutars construct, produce and market products for better electrical systems in boats, vehicles and small homes. Our range of products are all made with the highest of marine quality in mind.

Double the charging capacity

Upgrade your electrical system with Skyllermarks’ products and optimize your charging. Most systems will double their char- ging capacity, some will increase it tenfold.

Marine Quality

At Skyllermarks we find it frustrating to redo the same work all over again. That is why we only sell high quality products with unprecedented service life.

Technical development

We deliver systems for the modern boat owner. All technical development is monitored closely from our headquarters in Handen, Sweden, to ensure that new knowledge come into use for our costumers as soon as possible.

Swedish Technology Sees Green Future In Colombia

1 July 2010 Skyllermarks organized a tour of the biofuelled Combined Heat and Power plant Vattenfall is building in Jordbro, Sweden. The aim was to raise awareness of the potential for sustainable electricity generation in Colombia. Present at the tour were delegates from the municipality of Soacha, Colombia, interested in building similar power plants in Colombia.

"In Sweden, biofuelled power plants are a natural way to produce electricity and heat in a sustainable way," says Stefan Skyllermarks, CEO of Skyllermarks. "We want to show an example of how we do in Sweden and how easy it would be to do the same thing in Colombia."

In addition to the Colombian delegates, Rafael Nieto, the Colombian ambassador was present along with Yvonne Radestam, president of Haninge Municipality Environmental Board, who inagurated the construction site in February 2009.

"The fact that the boiler is already running and that the plant is expected to be fully operational by August, only 18 months after construction began, shows how mature this technology is," says Stefan Skyllermark. "The secret of coordinating such a large project is of course that you have good contacts and make thorough preparations."

Skyllermarks is in negotiations with several municipalities in Colombia that are interested in power plants similar to the one being built in Jordbro.

Skyllermarks is an energy consultant with over ten years of experience developing, producing and selling products for marine electrical systems. Skyllermarks also cooperates with several universities around the world to develop sustainable energy technologies. Examples of schools Skyllermarks collaborates with include Linköping University in Sweden and San Marcos University in Peru.

The Combined Head and Powet plant Vattenfall is building in Jordbro run on biofuels and has an output of 43 MW of hot water and 20 MW electricity. Biofuel can be made from anything from wood chips and wood pellets from forest industry to household waste. The power plant is being built to be able to run 49 weeks per year without interruption.

How Sutars became Sutars, the founder explains

Bo Strandfelt founded Sutars Aktiebolag in 1968. Starting as a company which imported and marketed pleasure boats among other things, the company would evolve to selling car cigar lighter size connectors of own design. Read Bo's depiction of how Sutars became Sutars below.

I am Bo Strandfelt. After running my small spare time business for a couple of years in my own name, I registered Sutars Aktiebolag in 1968, and since 1969 I am working full time for my company.

Demonstration Station for renewable electricity to areas without electricity

Skyllermarks has installed a demonstration center for renewable distributed power generation in Colombia. The station is powered by both wind and solar power and is equiped with batteries for storing a couple of days of energy and to be able to work without a grid.

Bilder ColombiaThe backbone of Skyllermarks demonstration station consists of an extremely quiet wind turbine. It is in this case supplemented by solar cells and batteries. Skyllermarks range of connectors and cables also have a key function of the whole concept.

"Our demonstration station combines the technologies needed to produce renewable electricity without a grid." says Stefan Skyllermarks, CEO. "The wind power plant is small and quiet, and in combination with batteries you can cope for days even without any wind or sun."

Skyllermarks has used its unique expertise from electrical systems in marine environments to assemble a system that works well on land too. The system serves as a comprehensive solution that provides housing in Latin America, which previously lacked access to an electrical grid, entirely new opportunities.

In addition, the system is scalable and can be complemented in order to provide electricity to larger consumers.

"We see a large market for our distributed systems in Latin America," says Stefan Skyllermarks, CEO. "Europe does not have the same market potential as more people are covered by the electrical grid. There is great interest and now we have demonstrated that the technology is working properly."

Skyllermarks helps changing Swedish Law

On the first of August this year, the rules for building permit requirements for small wind turbines changed in Sweden. The limit over which a planning permission is required was increased to three meters diameter (from two meters) as a result of successful lobbying by Skyllermarks.

vindkraft-flagga.jpgLast spring we were invited to a wind turbine hearing at cabinet office Rosenbad in Stockholm. At the hearing we proposed that the requirement for planning permission for wind turbines should be increased to three meters diameter (up from two meters). Our argument was that the wind turbines would still be smaller and and sound less than ordinary flags, while the swept area and hence the energy production would more than double.

Excerpt from Skyllermarks' statement:

A Swedish flag pole is often about 15 m high and has a flag that is almost 4 m tall. These flagpoles can be installed without any special permission using inexpensive standard components. The limit for not requiring a planning permission is set for wind turbines with a turbine diameter of 2 meter, which seems disproportionately low. The audio-visual nuisance for local residents are not more for a wind turbine than for a flag. Add to that the fact that the flag does not serve any real purpose [like generating electricity] we believe that the maximum rotor diameter to be allowed without special authorization should be increased. An increase of the diameter of the wind turbine from 2 to 3 meters would increase the swept area and hence the energy production by 125%.

The fact that the energy production is increased by 125 percent, that is, becomes 2.25 times larger, if the diameter is increased by 50 percent is easy to show using a simple sketch. For those who are mathematically inclined (and remember the formula for calculation the area of a circle from school) it is even easier. vindkraftverk-tre-meter-utankaffe.jpg

Our proposal has survived through all the democratic institutions and came into effect as a Swedish law on the first of August this year.

The new passage about wind turbines in the Planning and Building Act, Chapter eight, section two is the following:

In terms of facilities other than buildings, planning permissions is required for wind turbines that
a) is higher than 20 meters over the ground;
b) is located at a distance from the border which is less than the height [of the wind turbine],
c) is mounted on a building, or
d) have a wind turbine with a diameter greater than three meters,

Everyone knows that it is difficult to become a "prophet in his own city" and we had anticipated that success of this type would come abroad first, but this really shows the power of our ideas.
