100kW engineered for Manufacturing Plants in Fourways

High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect manufacturing plants operations across Fourways, Johannesburg. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Fourways sit on the William Nicol corridor, where production stoppages and maximum demand penalties make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.

Synchronising existing gensets with PV and storage so diesel becomes a last resort instead of a monthly cost centre. Manufacturing Plants carry a load profile dominated by continuous three-phase motor and compressor load, 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 City Power account entirely.

Questions from Fourways operators

How long does a 100kW installation in Fourways take?

A 100kW plant on a manufacturing plant in Fourways typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, City Power SSEG paperwork and commissioning.

Do we need approval from City Power?

Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Fourways, Johannesburg 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 manufacturing plant account.
