Project Overview
Client: Gauteng Game FarmerLocation: Gauteng
Project Duration: 1 week
Completion Date: July 2023
Case Study: Pro Electric Solar Installation for a Farmer in Gauteng
Project Overview
In July 2023, Pro Electric successfully completed a comprehensive solar installation for a farmer in Gauteng. This project, executed over a duration of four weeks, was aimed at providing uninterrupted solar electricity, substantial savings on energy bills, and a sustainable energy solution suitable for agricultural operations.
The system implemented for the farm comprises high-efficiency components tailored to meet the energy needs of agricultural machinery and residential usage, ensuring constant power availability even during peak farming seasons.
By transitioning to solar electricity, the farmer not only ensured an uninterrupted power supply but also began to realise significant savings on the monthly electricity bill, demonstrating the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy.
Deye Inverters
Model: 50 KW Deye Inverter
Deye Inverters were chosen for their high efficiency and reliability. These inverters are crucial in converting the direct current (DC) generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC), suitable for home and farm equipment.
60 KWH Deye HV Lithium Battery bank.
These battery banks were installed to store surplus energy generated during sunny days, ensuring a consistent power supply even during nighttime or cloudy periods, thus enhancing the system’s reliability.
550 Watt JA Solar Panels
Quantity: 48 x 550 Watt JA Solar Panels
JA Solar Panels were selected for their high efficiency and durability. These panels are capable of generating sufficient energy to meet the farm’s high electricity demands, maximising energy production with minimal maintenance.
Project Goals
- Ensure a reliable and uninterrupted energy supply for farming operations.
- Reduce the electricity bill through the use of renewable energy.
- Minimise environmental impact by shifting to a sustainable energy source.
- Enhance the energy independence of the farm.
Scope of Work
- System Design: Customised design of the solar system to meet specific energy needs.
