250kW engineered for Warehouses in Aeroton
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect warehouses operations across Aeroton, Johannesburg. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Aeroton sit on the N1 South corridor, where vast unused roof area and rising fixed demand charges make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Zero-capex Power Purchase Agreements and rental structures - you pay only for the solar kWh you consume. Warehouses carry a load profile dominated by daytime lighting, forklift charging and dock equipment, 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 Aeroton operators
How long does a 250kW installation in Aeroton take?
A 250kW plant on a warehouse in Aeroton 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 Aeroton, 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 warehouse account.
