100kW engineered for Distribution Centres in Walvis Bay
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect distribution centres operations across Walvis Bay, Erongo. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Walvis Bay sit on the Walvis Bay corridor, where large roof footprints sitting idle make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Coupling chillers, refrigeration and commercial aircon directly to PV generation to flatten peak-demand charges. Distribution Centres carry a load profile dominated by conveyor systems, racking lighting and dock levellers, which is exactly where solar generation overlaps hardest with your billing peaks.
Pair your cooling, refrigeration and commercial aircon systems directly with solar PV generation to cut high peak-demand electrical charges. Thermal pre-cooling during peak irradiance hours shifts chiller demand off the Erongo RED account entirely.

Questions from Walvis Bay operators
How long does a 100kW installation in Walvis Bay take?
A 100kW plant on a distribution centre in Walvis Bay typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, Erongo RED SSEG paperwork and commissioning.
Do we need approval from Erongo RED?
Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Walvis Bay, Erongo must be registered as SSEG. Reyds handles the full application, professional engineer sign-off and NRS 097-2-1 compliance documentation.
Can the system run our aircon and refrigeration during load shedding?
With hybrid inverters and LFP storage, cooling, refrigeration and commercial aircon can be carried through outages while also clipping peak-demand charges on your distribution centre account.
