Photon 5 – 400 kWp / 1 600 kWh Hybrid Commercial Solar installation

Forest strategically reduced grid electricity usage for our client with one central municipal grid supply and five separate office blocks. By installing a 400kW solar system across four different roofs and integrating three tie-in points, we’ve maximized the available space to significantly cut down on grid consumption.

To further enhance efficiency, we’ve equipped four office buildings with Deye hybrid solar and battery storage systems. This upgrade replaces costly diesel generators, ensuring a sustainable backup power solution.

The project’s final stage involves installing a 1.2MWh battery system in the main office building to ensure complete energy resilience. Through the use of SolarEdge Technologies grid-tied inverters and Deye systems, we are paving the way for more sustainable business operations.
