The Challenge

The customer operates a small agricultural processing facility located outside the main urban area. Although grid electricity is available, power interruptions occur frequently, especially during peak demand periods and extreme weather conditions. To maintain production, the facility relied heavily on diesel generators. However, rising fuel prices and generator maintenance costs were significantly increasing operating expenses.

The customer needed a solution that could:

✔ Reduce dependence on diesel generators

✔ Improve power reliability

✔ Utilize solar energy more effectively

✔ Lower long-term energy costs

The Solution

• 3 × 80kW Hybrid Inverters
• 3 × 145kWh LiFePO4 Battery Storage Systems
• Total Storage Capacity: 435kWh
• Outdoor All-in-One Cabinet Design

The system can work alongside existing solar PV and grid power, automatically storing excess solar energy during the day and supplying power when electricity demand increases or grid interruptions occur.

Expected Benefits

• Reduced Diesel Consumption: Instead of running generators for extended periods, the battery system supplies stored energy when needed, helping reduce fuel consumption and operating costs.
• Improved Production Stability: Sensitive equipment can continue operating during short-term grid outages, minimizing downtime and productivity losses.
• Better Use of Solar Energy: Excess solar power generated during daylight hours can be stored and used later in the evening, increasing self-consumption and overall system efficiency.
• Long-Term Energy Savings:By reducing reliance on expensive diesel fuel and maximizing renewable energy utilization, the customer can achieve significant savings over the lifetime of the project.
