Safari Lodge near Thabazimbi - Mini Solar Farm + Priority Backup

Game Lodge and Game Breeding Farm near Thabazimbi needed Self Power generation capability and load shedding protection for Guest and Mission Critical operations on the farm.

AM Solar have designed and installed a Solar Power Plant that will generate all the farms power needs and supplied a number of independent battery backup systems for the various needs on the farm.

The Main Solar Plant is a mini-Solar Farm, or a Grid-Tied Photovoltaic (PV) Facility Ground Mounted that will inject current into the farm's transformer feed for Self-Consumption. This plant is easily expandable for future upscale needs.
Using Yingli Solar 300W Poly-Crystalline solar panels and ABB Grid-Tie inverters

The battery management inverters, controllers and monitoring are a combination of Schneider Electric, ABB and Cotek technologies with various AGM and Flooded Lead-Acid battery technologies.

Parkhurst Goes with SchneiderE + Yingli Solar

This Parkhurst, Johannesburg client has chosen to go with the incredible power of the Schneider Electric XW+ Inverter and Yingli Solar Combination of solar technologies.
Using the NXT AGM Batts.
System in Enhanced Grid-Support configuration (SchneiderE XW+ programming):
 - Batteries in  Standby
 - Solar Power Priority:
    1. Re-charge Batteries
    2. Supply Load
    3. Excess = Sell to Grid
 - Using 20% of available Batt power to Load
 - Blend available solar + Batt power, with remainder via Grid

!Surviving Loadshedding! Home/Home Office [Melville, Jhb]

This upmarket home in Melville, Johannesburg needed an urgent solution to Load Shedding for their home and home office.

AM Solar designed and installed this system to achieve that + more..!
The Fiamm AGM Battery bank remains in standby while the Schneider Electric XW+ 8.5kW intelligent inverter|charger direct feeds Day-Time loads (e.g. Koi Pond, Geysers, etc.).

If and when the Grid is lost (i.e. Loadshedding), the inverter will take control of the homes main DB board and disconnect non-critical loads and only power the critical loads (e.g. PC's, Laptops, TV's, alarms, fridges... etc) that will then be powered by the battery bank for a duration of between 4 hours to 8 hours.

Inverter, controller and monitoring technologies by Schneider Electric and Victron Energy.
Solar panels are 300W poly-crystalline solar panels.

Solar Powered/Loadshed Proof Home in Bryanston, Jhb

Using the Schneider Electric Hybrid Inverter (XW+8.5kW) and Charge Controller (XW+60A MPPT), with Yingli 300W solar panels and Fiamm AGM solar cells, this home does not even know when the Grid Supply get interrupted. Design and Installation by AM Solar.

Client (Heather) says..."the only clue we get, is when all the neighbours generators start up in our complex, what a noise. Time for them to go Solar too!!!"
She goes on to say... "we are no longer worried about extended outages either, as our battery bank is big enough to keep us going for day or more, if we manage our load a little."

Net-Zero Energy Home with Battery Backup - Craighall Park, Jhb

This home in Craighall Park in Johannesburg wanted to get to a Nett-Zero Energy home, thus the home will produce all the power it needs via Solar and then also to have backup (power outage) power and solar energy for night-time usage.

AM Solar Designed a system using the superb SMA SunnyBoy and SunnyIsland technologies to achieve this with, an intelligent battery switching logic based on partial battery usage at night and to leave a pre-determined state-of-charge in the batts for morning usage, in  case of a power outage from the grid.

The Home Main DB Board also auto-controls via the SMA SunnyIsland inverter|charger the homes loads based on battery state and grid-availability.

Yingli 250W solar panels and Fiamm AGM batteries where used.

Large Home Grid-Tie + Interactive Battery Backup Solution (XW+)

This project in a central Johannesburg suburb contains a large residential Grid-Tie solar power system using 300W Yingli solar panels and a 3-Phase Schneider Electric 10kW inverter.

To supply the home with a suitable battery backup to select circuits we have installed the newly released (upgraded) Schneider Electric XW+ 7047 inverter. This is a very sophisticated Grid-Interactive inverter/charger. It can also sell energy back into the grid and/or supply solar charge to the batteries or home load. There is enough battery power to run the select loads or a 24 hour period.

The system was designed and installed by AM Solar - Professional Power Solutions

Work in Progress...
