1.5MWp Roof-Mounted Solar System for Food Manufacturing.

This project involved the design and installation of a 1.5MWp roof-mounted solar power system for a food manufacturing facility in Mombasa, Kenya. The system was carefully engineered to maximize the use of available rooftop space while delivering clean, reliable, and cost-effective renewable energy. By generating electricity on site, the facility significantly reduces its reliance on grid power and improves long-term energy stability.

Food manufacturing operations require continuous and dependable electricity to run processing lines, refrigeration units, packaging systems, and support equipment. With the integration of the 1.5MWp solar photovoltaic system, the facility now benefits from a steady renewable energy supply that supports daily production activities. The system operates seamlessly alongside the existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring smooth operations during peak production periods.

The 1.5MWp roof-mounted solar power system for the food manufacturing facility offsets a large portion of daytime electricity consumption. This leads to noticeable reductions in monthly energy costs and minimizes exposure to rising electricity tariffs and grid disruptions. Over time, the investment delivers strong financial returns by improving energy efficiency and lowering overall operating expenses.

Beyond cost savings, the project makes a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. By switching to solar energy, the facility reduces its carbon footprint associated with conventional electricity generation. This supports Kenya’s renewable energy goals and strengthens the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible food production.

The installation also enhances long-term energy security by providing a clean and predictable power source. It demonstrates how roof-mounted solar systems can be effectively deployed in space-constrained industrial facilities without affecting productivity or reliability.

Overall, this project highlights the growing adoption of solar power within Kenya’s food manufacturing sector. It shows how industrial solar solutions can deliver economic benefits while supporting sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices.
