Fresh Bake reacted to Chris Hobson in Solar System for FactoryHi Fresh Bake
A GTI system where you have a large bill has the quickest return on investment (ROI).
It will not give you energy independence from ESKOM but depending on the size and the scope of your usage will mean that you can generate anything between 25% and 75% of total electricity bill. Trying to cover 95% of you bill is not particularly cost effective as there is more idle time on your solar panels.
The same with trying to build a system that can power large loads when the power is down. The battery costs for a solar backup system is prohibitive. You can power servers and essential electronics but not an entire factory.
