Overview
Complete solar PV installation with battery storage for a 50,000 sq ft commercial complex, achieving near grid-independence during peak hours.
The Challenge
The complex was spending over $45,000/month on electricity with frequent grid outages disrupting business operations. The aging electrical infrastructure could not support additional loads, and tenants were threatening to leave due to unreliable power supply.
Our Solution
We designed a 500 kW rooftop solar array paired with a 200 kWh lithium battery storage system. The installation included a smart energy management system that prioritises solar power, stores excess in batteries, and switches to grid only when necessary. A real-time monitoring dashboard was deployed for building management.
