A 14-unit commercial plaza was spending heavily on diesel to keep shops trading through grid outages. The brief: cut fuel to near zero without disrupting tenants.
The design
- A roof-wide monocrystalline array sized to daytime load plus charging
- A shared LiFePO4 storage room with parallel banks
- Hybrid inverters that blend solar, storage and grid seamlessly
- Per-unit metering so each tenant sees their own usage
By the second month the standby generator was running only for scheduled tests.
The result
Diesel spend fell sharply, tenants got clean uninterrupted power, and the landlord gained a monitoring dashboard that flags any unit drawing more than expected.
