This is an illustrative sample project showing a typical Sunskey solution. Figures are indicative.
The challenge
The client ran two shifts with heavy daytime loads, paying high commercial tariffs and running diesel generators during frequent outages.
Our solution
We designed a 250 kWp ground-mount array on unused land beside the plant, integrated with the grid supply and existing generators through a synchronisation controller that prioritises solar.
The outcome
The system supplies a large share of daytime demand, significantly reduces generator fuel use and gives the client predictable long-term energy costs.
