750kW engineered for Industrial Parks in Woodmead
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect industrial parks operations across Woodmead, Johannesburg. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Woodmead sit on the N1 and N3 interchange, where shared metering and constrained supply capacity make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Coupling chillers, refrigeration and commercial aircon directly to PV generation to flatten peak-demand charges. Industrial Parks carry a load profile dominated by multi-tenant mixed light industrial 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 Woodmead operators
How long does a 750kW installation in Woodmead take?
A 750kW plant on a industrial park in Woodmead 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 Woodmead, 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 industrial park account.
