OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM FOR BELIZE CHICKEN PROCESSING FACILITY
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY GOES SOLAR
In a groundbreaking move for the poultry industry, a chicken processing facility located in a remote area of Belize has adopted an advanced off-grid solar energy system to operate completely independent of the traditional power grid.
Sol-Ark’s innovative technology has been at the forefront of providing reliable off-grid energy solutions for commercial operations. When this remote chicken processing facility in Belize sought a power solution that could operate independently of the grid, Sol-Ark’s advanced inverters and battery systems were selected to meet the challenge.
OPERATING OFF-GRID IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
The chicken processing facility faced several key challenges in implementing a renewable energy solution:
PROHIBITIVE GRID CONNECTION COSTS: Due to the remote location, extending utility lines to the facility was not feasible, making an off-grid power solution necessary.
A CONTINUOUS ENERGY DEMAND: The facility required a reliable and continuous power supply to operate the equipment essential for poultry processing.
ENERGY RESILIENCE AGAINST GRID OUTAGES: Ensuring the facility could continue operations during any potential power interruptions was crucial, making a backup generator a critical component.
WHY SOL-ARK® WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE
RELIABLE OFF-GRID DESIGN: The Sol-Ark® 15K hybrid inverters, paired with a 240-kWh lithium battery storage system, provided the robust and efficient power needed to run the facility off-grid.
COST-EFFECTIVE & SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION: By avoiding the high costs of grid connection, the facility significantly reduced its operational expenses, while the solar system helped lower its environmental impact.
RESILIANT BACK-UP POWER: The inclusion of a diesel generator ensured additional resilience, providing backup power in case of any disruptions to the solar system.
THE SOLUTION
CHICKEN PROCESSING PLANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:
SOLAR ARRAY: 148 kW PVdc solar panels installed to generate sufficient energy to power the facility.
HYBRID INVERTER STACK: [12] Sol-Ark® 15K-2P Hybrid Inverters
BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE: 240 kWh of lithium battery storage to provide continuous power during the night and on cloudy days.
BACK-UP GENERATOR: A diesel generator to ensure resilience and uninterrupted operations.
THE RESULTS
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE: The facility now operates completely off-grid, showcasing how large-scale commercial operations can achieve energy independence through renewable solutions.
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The solar energy system dramatically cut the facility’s reliance on traditional energy sources, reducing emissions and supporting environmental stewardship.
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.
Powered by Sol-Ark’s technology, the facility not only operates more sustainably but also serves as a model for the future of energy independence in industrial applications.
