โšก๏ธPaying for trips, a weak grid, or peak and demand charges?

๐Ÿ‹ a Citrus pack house in Brits added a new cold room and hit a wall - the Eskom wall.

Their main incomer was tripping constantly, putting their harvest at risk.

of waiting years for a grid upgrade, we installed:

๐Ÿ‘‰ 260kWp Solar (~1400kWh daily)
๐Ÿ‘‰ 216kWh Sig Battery Bank
๐Ÿ‘‰ 600kW Sig Commercial Gateway (The brains of the operation)

The Result: We didnโ€™t just fix the trips - we doubled their usable capacity.

And by capping grid import under 100kVA, we cut their demand charges and ensured the plant stays on regardless of the local gridโ€™s mood.

Plus the system can expand to more 600kWp and 1500kWh - meaning the system can grow with their business can grow.

Are you an industrial energy user fed up with our local grid?
