750kW Solar System for Mining Administrative Compounds in Francistown

750kW engineered for Mining Administrative Compounds in Francistown

High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect mining administrative compounds operations across Francistown, North-East. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Francistown sit on the A1 corridor, where remote sites on constrained distribution networks make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.

Synchronising existing gensets with PV and storage so diesel becomes a last resort instead of a monthly cost centre. 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 Botswana Power Corporation account entirely.
