Factories
Factories that run by day: Use your own roof to cut power costs
Factories usually use the most power exactly when the sun is out. A large metal factory roof is ready space for panels, with no land needed.
Typical daily load profile
Suggested configuration
Package A: Hi-MO X10 panels on the metal roof, grid-tied inverter, EMS metering per feeder. Add a small battery (Package B) if the factory has load peaks or an evening shift.
Keep in mind
The roof structure must be checked, and you need the landlord's agreement if you lease the building.
Three benefits
Less grid power in daytime
Solar replaces the power your machines use while the sun shines.
Metered data for reporting
The EMS records hourly energy for reports to customers or the parent company.
Light on the roof
The X10 weighs 28.5 kg, suited to long-span metal roofs.
Questions
Can we install on a leased building?
Yes, with the landlord's written consent. TTK prepares the technical file for that discussion.
Do we have to stop production?
Most work is on the roof. Connecting to the switchboard needs a short stop, scheduled around your shifts.
What does the EMS measure?
Energy by feeder and by hour: Grid, solar and battery. This data feeds your energy reports.
