Micro-grids
Solar, batteries, grid and generators as one system.
Sectors
Keep it cold, keep it running.
Solar, storage and micro-grids for abattoirs, mills, dairies and other food processors that cannot afford a power cut.

Why solar
Cold rooms do not take days off.
Food processors run cold rooms, freezers, ovens, pumps and washdown systems, and a long outage can mean spoiled product. Many also rely on diesel generators when the grid fails.
A micro-grid puts solar and batteries first and keeps the generator as back-up, cutting fuel use and protecting critical loads.
What matters
What we design around
- Cold rooms, freezers and blast chillers that must stay on
- Starting surges from compressors and pumps
- Generator integration and automatic changeover
- Hygiene, safety and washdown conditions in the plant
- Water pumping and treatment loads
Suggested systems
Systems that fit
Battery storage
Backup and evening power.
Rooftop solar
Use roof space you already have.
Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Can solar reduce our diesel use?
Yes. A micro-grid runs the generator less often because solar and batteries carry more of the load. The saving depends on the design and how long outages last.
What happens first?
We start with the loads and bills you already have, then a site assessment confirms the design.
Can we pay over time?
Ask us about FlexPay and other options.
