OVERVIEW:
As one of the largest citrus fruit producers in the Eastern Cape, Sitrusrand requires a steady and reliable energy supply to power their irrigation pumps and packhouses. Our Solar PV solution was installed on the roof of the packhouse. We reduced their infrastructure to a single point of supply that can distribute a constant stream across the entire farm.
The microgrid ensured energy security with the existing generator from a centralised point.
