Resumen del proyecto

A remote chicken processing facility in Honduras, Central America required a stable and cost-effective power solution to support its daily production operations.

To operate completely independent of the traditional power grid, the facility partnered with United Energy to deploy a customized commercial PV+ESS designed for commercial workloads.

The solution integrates high-efficiency photovoltaic generation with a hybrid inverter and large-capacity battery storage to ensure a consistent power supply throughout the day and night.

Challenges

High grid connection costs: Local utility companies charge exorbitant fees for line extension in remote rural areas, making an off-grid power solution essential.

Continuous energy demand: Poultry processing operations rely on uninterrupted electricity to power critical equipment, including refrigeration systems, processing machinery, lighting, and cold storage units.

Energy resilience: To ensure stable operations during potential power interruptions, a robust backup power source is essential, and a generator is also a key component of this solution.

Advantage Of Choosing UE

Customized solar solution: The UE 200.7kWh lithium battery storage system, paired with Deye 50kW high-voltage hybrid inverters, provided the robust and efficient power needed to run the facility off-grid.

Reliable back-up power: The inclusion of a high-capacity energy storage system and a diesel generator ensured additional resilience, providing backup power in case of any disruptions to the solar system.

Configuración del sistema

Solar array: 60kW PV capacity, total 96pcs 630W solar panels installed to generate sufficient energy to power the facility.

Hybrid inverter: 1 unit Deye 50kW hybrid inverter, with a Dry Contact to connect to diesel generator, ensure resilience and uninterrupted operations.

Battery energy storage: 200.7kWh of lithium battery storage to provide continuous power during the night and on cloudy days.

The Result

Energy independence: The facility now operates completely off-grid, Achieving 24/7 uninterrupted power supply for 6+ months without grid support” showcasing how small-scale commercial operations can achieve energy independence through renewable solutions.

Energy cost savings: By eliminating the need for grid connection, the facility significantly reduced its operational costs, reinforcing the financial viability of renewable energy in commercial settings.

Reduced environment impact: The solar energy system dramatically cut the facility’s reliance on traditional energy sources, reducing emissions and supporting environmental stewardship.
