Protea Versoolwerke – Solar Powered
Protea Versoolwerke - Solar Powered As a tyre retreading factory situated in Ermelo our company, like many in South Africa has been continually faced with escalating electricity bills. Our decision was to find a long-term solution which would greatly reduce our expense on electricity. We utilised the specialised services of SolarXgen , a Johannesburg based company which gave a complete solution to our electrical spend. “The project took careful consideration of the billing protocol by the municipality. We could not rely purely on a Solar power system for the client and had to provide an integrated solution which would also [...]
PV Solar versus Ekurhuleni electricity
How it compares? PV Solar versus Ekurhuleni electricity Tariff for business. You may have heard that a PV Solar system produces electricity at a cheaper rate than that of Ekurhuleni's business tariff rate, but lets look at the actual differences. Ekurhuleni provides 4 differing business tariffs ( Tariff B - is for small business, Tariff C is the most common tariff for business albeit deprecated for new client. Tariff D is for large client with demand of more than 1MVa and Tariff E is a "time of use" tariff which is relatively new). For the sake of this [...]
Namibia Solar Power vs NamPower
SolarXgen Namibia Solar Power costs on average 67% less than NamPower Namibia imports about 60% of electricity from neighbouring countries including South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, with it's main utility provider being NamPower . Like most state-owned utilities, NamPower's electricity pricing has been subject to considerable inflation. Fortunately, Namibia provides an ideal environment for Solar power and commercial clients should explore these options. Out-pricing Utility Commercial clients in Namibia are paying for both energy and power. The 2017 NamPower rates reveal a price of N$1,21/kWh for energy and N$231/kVA for power. Not long ago, these prices were mostly unbeatable and [...]
Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System
Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System Solar systems can be confusing. Choosing the correct system for your home and desired outcome takes careful planning. We explain the major differences between a Grid Tied, Off-Grid, and Hybrid solar system. Grid tied ( On-Grid ) In a grid tied system , the solar power is paralleled with utility. The 2 run synchronously and the major benefit of such system is that your load will always consume the solar power generated first. Example 1 The demand (kW) in your home at a particular time is, lets say, [...]
Peak Power Shaving With Solar
Peak power shaving with Solar & integrated diesel Genset. Many corporate companies in South Africa have a diesel genset hiding in a "basement". A necessary purchase in 2015 as a "load-shedding" saviour. Now, hardly used, these power producing machines mostly "collect dust". Integrated Genset for Peak Lopping Peak power shaving is viable under certain instances. The addition of a PV Solar system inherently reduces power during the day. Ultimate reliance on peak power reduction cannot be placed on PV Solar alone. Poor irradiation, at times, may prove little reduction in power. PV solar also only typically reduces power between the hours [...]
PV Solar Carports
PV Solar Carports Produce more Energy. Solar Carports provide a superior platform for energy generation. They are able to generally produce more energy than typical roof-space and at the same time protect your companies or staff assets. SolarXgen specialises in deployment of new Solar Carports or a Retro-Fit of your existing carports. PV Solar Carports provide additional Capacity. A roof-top generally does not provide sufficient space for a buildings Solar energy requirement. PV Solar Carports typically provide an additional 2.8kWp per motor vehicle. A 100 car Solar Carport could generate as much as 480 Mega Watt hours [...]
