Key Insight

Your facility maintains a high base load of approximately 100–110 kW even outside business hours, with daytime demand peaking at 125 kW. This consistent demand profile means a solar system will achieve excellent self-consumption rates — nearly all generated power will be used on-site, maximising your return on investment.

Proposed Solution

Commercial Solar Installation

We have designed three system options to match your energy profile and available roof space. Each option uses tier-1 monocrystalline panels and commercial-grade string inverters.

Solar panel installation detail
