0.6 MW On-Grid Solar Power System

In a mining site named "GOLDTECH" located in the southern part of Chile, the Procurement Manager, Jimmy, is responsible for handling the company's procurement and energy supply affairs. As the mining operations expand, the electricity consumption increases, leading to soaring industrial electricity costs that severely impact the company's profitability. Jimmy urgently needs to find a more cost-effective and efficient energy solution.

One day, Jimmy heard about the potential of solar power generation and sought help from us, Namkoo Power, a professional solar power system supplier. He hoped that we could provide a storage system capable of meeting the continuous power demands of their high-power machinery. After a detailed understanding of their electricity consumption, we offered them a 0.6 MW storage system proposal, ensuring that the mining site could operate continuously for 10 hours. However, the price exceeded Jimmy's budget.

Faced with budget constraints, we didn't give up but continued to have in-depth discussions with Jimmy. During our conversation, we learned that the mining site had stable access to the grid and mainly operated during daylight hours when sunlight was abundant. This information made us realize that a storage system might not be the most suitable solution for their mining company.

After further analysis and consideration, we recommended a more practical and cost-effective solution: a 0.6 MW on-grid system. We explained that an on-grid system could harness solar power during daylight hours to supply electricity to the mining site, while automatically switching to grid power at night or when sunlight was insufficient, ensuring a continuous and stable power supply. Since the mining site's operating hours aligned with daylight conditions, an on-grid system could maximize the utilization of solar energy, resulting in significant electricity cost savings.

Jimmy listened to our advice and gained a deep understanding of the advantages of the on-grid system. Additionally, we assured him that the on-grid system we designed could be upgraded to a storage system in the future. He was highly satisfied with our proposal, as it not only resolved their energy supply issue but also allowed them to continue their business at a lower cost. He decided to purchase the on-grid system and consider upgrading to a PV+ESS (Photovoltaic + Energy Storage System) combination when they had a larger budget, further enhancing the mining site's energy self-sufficiency.

With the installation and operation of the on-grid system, GOLDTECH's power supply issue was effectively resolved. The use of solar energy significantly reduced the mining site's electricity costs and decreased reliance on traditional energy sources, marking a significant step forward in the company's environmental efforts.

Jimmy's collaboration with us gained recognition from the company's top management, as he became an advocate for environmental sustainability and sustainable development. This story not only illustrates how we helped the company provide a sustainable energy solution but also emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding customer needs. Guided by the choice of light, GOLDTECH took solid strides on the path of sustainable development.
