50kW engineered for Poultry & Abattoirs in Klerksdorp
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect poultry & abattoirs operations across Klerksdorp, Dr Kenneth Kaunda. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Klerksdorp sit on the N12 corridor, where livestock and product loss within minutes of an outage make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Backup engineering that keeps production lines, cold chain and POS systems running through Stage 6 schedules. Poultry & Abattoirs carry a load profile dominated by ventilation, chilling and processing lines, 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 Matlosana Municipality account entirely.

Questions from Klerksdorp operators
How long does a 50kW installation in Klerksdorp take?
A 50kW plant on a poultry or abattoir facility in Klerksdorp typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, Matlosana Municipality SSEG paperwork and commissioning.
Do we need approval from Matlosana Municipality?
Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Klerksdorp, Dr Kenneth Kaunda 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 poultry or abattoir facility account.
