UCL Sawmills was a three part project, with Phase 1 being a pilot, which lead to phase 2 and phase 3 being installed back to back. This project is completely ground mount, linked back to two Inverter Areas, with two separate tie-in areas. The routing of this plant is primarily run in electrical sleeves and manholes leading back to the main Substation areas. With two Eskom feeds onto the site, Phase 1 and Phase 2 work as one system, with phase 3 isolated completely from the first two.
1122kWp Groudmount Solar System
12 x Sungrow SG50CX inverters, 3 x 125kp Sungrow SG125CX Inverters
2241 panels ranging from 500W-550W Panels total of 1 122 000W of panels.
The Goal of this project was to increase their power generation to reduce the overhead electrical cost of running the Sawmill during the daytime.
