The Challenge

Background

The project is located at a supermarket and wholesale market in Nairobi, Kenya. Business hours run from 9:00am to 8:00pm. Monthly electricity consumption is approximately 30,000kWh, with higher electricity consumption during the day and lower consumption at night.

The Response

Megatank Solution

Megatank supplied an integrated solar and energy-storage system sized around the supermarket’s daytime demand.

  • 1 × GC100-215 all-in-one energy storage system
  • 1 × SOLIS 100kW PV inverter
  • 396 × 555W PV panels

The Impact

System Benefits

  • Strong and high-efficiency power-supply capacity for substantial electricity consumption
  • Less than 20ms on-grid to off-grid switching response during load shedding
  • The owner almost no longer relies on grid electricity
  • Approximate payback period of two years
