The Piet Retief Sawmill grid-tied solar system with generator integration is a pioneering project that epitomises the synergy between renewable energy and industrial operations.
It demonstrates how solar power can be effectively harnessed to achieve energy independence, cost savings, and environmental benefits. This project serves as a model for other industrial facilities looking to transition to sustainable energy solutions and reduce their operational costs.
The off-grid solar system installed at the Clarens Guest House includes a robust 10kW Victron inverter, providing sufficient power to support both the main residence and the guest accommodations. The system is complemented by a substantial 25kWh battery backup, ensuring continuous power supply even during periods of low sunlight or power outages.
With a 12.5kWp solar capacity, the system efficiently captures and converts solar energy to meet the energy demands of the entire property. This integration not only reduces energy costs but also contributes to environmental sustainability by minimising carbon emissions.
The off-grid setup eliminates dependency on the national power grid, providing the guest house with a reliable and consistent energy source. This ensures that guests experience uninterrupted services, enhancing their overall stay and satisfaction.
Equipment Used
The 10kW Victron Multiplus II Inverter is a crucial component of the system, providing efficient energy conversion and distribution. Its advanced features ensure seamless integration with the solar panels and battery modules, delivering consistent and reliable power to the property. This inverter supports both the main residence and guest units, ensuring uninterrupted service.
The installation includes five 5kWh BYD Battery Modules, offering a total of 25kWh of energy storage. These batteries ensure that the guest house has a reliable backup power source during periods of low sunlight or power outages. The robust battery system guarantees that the property remains fully operational, enhancing guest satisfaction and operational reliability.
The 12.5kWp solar panels are designed to capture and convert solar energy efficiently, providing sufficient power to meet the energy demands of the entire property. This high solar capacity reduces reliance on the grid and lowers electricity costs, promoting sustainable energy practices and contributing to the property's overall energy independence.
