100kW engineered for Mining Administrative Compounds in Rustenburg
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect mining administrative compounds operations across Rustenburg, Bojanala. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Rustenburg sit on the N4 Platinum Corridor, where remote sites on constrained distribution networks make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Dual-purpose carport structures that shade staff and customer parking while generating three-phase power. Mining Administrative Compounds carry a load profile dominated by offices, change houses, workshops and security, 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 Rustenburg Municipality account entirely.

Questions from Rustenburg operators
How long does a 100kW installation in Rustenburg take?
A 100kW plant on a mining administrative compound in Rustenburg typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, Rustenburg Municipality SSEG paperwork and commissioning.
Do we need approval from Rustenburg Municipality?
Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Rustenburg, Bojanala 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 mining administrative compound account.
