At Sunwatt Energy Kenya, we are dedicated to providing our clients with top-tier solar energy solutions that enhance operational efficiency and reduce energy costs. One of our proudest projects was the installation of a 30kW 48V 3-phase hybrid solar system for Galana Energies Petrol Station in Kiserian.
This project not only delivers clean, sustainable energy but also offers Galana Energies a more cost-effective and reliable power solution, helping them maintain their operations without the risk of power interruptions or high energy expenses.
What We Did
To meet the energy demands of Galana Energies Petrol Station, we provided a comprehensive solution that integrates solar power with hybrid technology. Our team designed and installed a state-of-the-art solar power system that includes:
- 30pcs Solar Panels (550W each): The installation began with the setup of 30 high-performance 550W solar panels, covering a substantial roof area of the site and ensuring an optimized energy production capacity.
- 3pcs Hybrid Solar Inverters (10kW each): The next phase involved installing three 10kW hybrid inverters. These inverters convert DC electricity from the solar panels into AC power suitable for the station’s operations, while also managing the integration of grid power and backup generator power.
- 3pcs Lithium-Ion Batteries (16.07kWh each): To ensure reliable energy storage, we installed three 16.07kWh lithium-ion batteries. These batteries provide the station with backup power, ensuring smooth operations even during periods of cloud cover or at night. The batteries were paralleled together for increased capacity and efficiency.
- Automatic Changeover System: Our team also developed an automatic changeover switch that seamlessly transitions between three different power sources: the 50kVA generator, KPLC grid power, and the solar system. This changeover system guarantees that Galana Energies always has a continuous, stable power supply.
Installation Process
Day 1-2: Panel Installation: We began with the installation of the 30 solar panels, ensuring proper alignment and wiring for optimal performance. Our expert technicians worked meticulously to mount the panels and connect them to the system's inverter and storage components.
Day 3-4: Inverter and Battery Installation: Over the next two days, we installed the three 10kW hybrid inverters and connected them to the three 16.07kWh lithium-ion batteries. The inverters were paralleled to create a balanced 30kW 3-phase solar system. The automatic changeover system was also configured to ensure seamless switching between the power sources without any manual intervention.
Our team worked efficiently and diligently, ensuring minimal disruption to the petrol station's operations while completing the installation within the agreed timeline.
Benefits of the Solar System:
Cost Savings: By leveraging solar power, Galana Energies will experience significant savings on energy costs. The hybrid system maximizes the use of solar energy while minimizing dependence on costly grid power and diesel fuel for the generator.
Energy Independence: With the integration of a hybrid solar system and energy storage, the petrol station can now operate independently of grid fluctuations and power outages, providing a more reliable and stable power source.
Sustainability: This solar system will significantly reduce the station’s carbon footprint, contributing to cleaner air and a greener future for the environment. It supports Galana Energies' sustainability goals by utilizing renewable energy.
Seamless Power Supply: The automatic changeover system ensures that power transitions smoothly between the solar installation, grid, and generator, ensuring uninterrupted service at all times.
Long-Term Durability: With high-quality solar panels, inverters, and lithium-ion batteries, the system is designed to be robust and long-lasting, providing reliable energy for years to come with minimal maintenance required.
Conclusion:
This 30kW 3-Phase hybrid solar system installation at Galana Energies Petrol Station marks a significant step towards clean, reliable, and cost-efficient energy solutions for businesses. By choosing Sunwatt Energy Kenya, Galana Energies now enjoys a cutting-edge solar power system that enhances their operations, saves costs, and reduces environmental impact. This project is a perfect example of how solar energy can provide tangible benefits for businesses seeking to optimize energy use while supporting sustainability goals.
