Strategic Partner Comments
We have just commissioned Chalmar Beef where we used 1854 LONGi 570W panels. This ground installation is very impressive. This is our 4th Installation for our customer, as we ran out of roof space hence this additional just over 1MW ground installation.

Project Highlights

SunRanch Solar has furnished our client with a grid-tied PV system which is directly interconnected with the principal incoming Eskom point, with the objective of diminishing the client's electrical consumption sourced from Eskom and furnishing Eskom with all the surplus power generated by the PV system, thereby further buttressing the national grid. Concomitantly, this installation enables the PV system to maintain its operation even in the absence of a utility grid to supply a set-point, continuously effectuating savings in diesel consumption as well!

The installed PV system encompasses a 1057.92 kWp DC installation, along with a total AC installed capacity of 850 kVA. Moreover, SunRanch Solar has ensured the implementation of top-notch protection designs to erect a secure working environment by means of deploying lightning rods and an earth mat encircling the ground-mounted PV system. This guarantees that the risks to human life, wildlife, and the client's assets have been comprehensively mitigated.
