750kW engineered for Distribution Centres in Samcor Park
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect distribution centres operations across Samcor Park, Pretoria. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Samcor Park sit on the N4 East corridor, where large roof footprints sitting idle make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Solar PV paired with LFP storage so production carries critical load through load shedding and evening peak tariffs. 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 City of Tshwane account entirely.

Questions from Samcor Park operators
How long does a 750kW installation in Samcor Park take?
A 750kW plant on a distribution centre in Samcor Park typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, City of Tshwane SSEG paperwork and commissioning.
Do we need approval from City of Tshwane?
Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Samcor Park, Pretoria 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.
