In response to the need for operational cost reduction and sustainability enhancement, a logistics warehouse in Germiston partnered with Eversolar for an energy infrastructure upgrade. The project involved expanding the existing solar PV capacity by 1.36 MWp, reaching a total of 2.31 MWp, and the installation of a 1.65 MVA/2.2 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for energy arbitrage.

Additionally, the integration included the incorporation of a Caterpillar diesel generator to ensure backup power supply during prolonged grid outages. The combination of solar PV, BESS, and diesel generator offered a comprehensive energy solution, enhancing both sustainability and reliability.

The integrated solution aimed to reduce costs, increase renewable energy penetration, and enhance energy resilience. Through advanced control algorithms and predictive analytics, energy dispatch, storage, and consumption were optimised to maximise efficiency and minimise reliance on grid electricity. This optimisation strategy facilitated significant cost savings for the client, while also reducing carbon emissions through the increased utilisation of renewable energy.

Moreover, the enhanced energy infrastructure provided greater control over the energy supply, ensuring minimal exposure to external factors such as fluctuating energy prices and grid instability. This improved energy independence bolstered the operational resilience of the logistics warehouse, mitigating potential disruptions and downtime.

Overall, Eversolar’s solution exemplifies the transformative potential of renewable energy technologies in driving operational efficiency, cost savings, and environmental stewardship.
