Tile Manufacturer Utilizes Sol-Ark BESS to Reduce $258K Diesel Costs
Objective
In response to escalating operational costs, including a staggering $258,000 annual diesel expenditure, Pinder Tile sought a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution. The goal was to enhance efficiency and sustainability in their operations, particularly in powering heavy machinery and vehicles crucial for daily logistics and manufacturing processes.
Solution
Sol-Ark provided three standalone 60K hybrid inverters, each powering dedicated charging stations generating 75.8 kWh.
Project Overview
- Location: Nassau, Bahamas
- System Components: 3x 60K Hybrid inverters, L3 Series BESS
- System Capacity: 227.4 kW total across three charging stations
- Solar Array: Each station is equipped with a 75.8 kW solar array
- Backup Generator: None
- Application: EV Charging stations for forklifts and delivery trucks at Pinder Tile
These stations efficiently charged four forklifts and two flatbed trucks, pivotal for moving materials for construction projects. This system was designed and installed by Island Solar Ltd, led by Dwayne Frazer.
Outcome
The installation was seamless. Pinder Tile is meeting their decarbonization targets and is on track to significantly reduce their energy costs,” said Daryl Dejoy, President of Island Energy Storage, and a veteran in renewable energy with over 35 years of experience.
“We consistently choose Sol-Ark inverters and now we are also utilizing Sol-Ark high voltage batteries due to the thoughtful design and seamless integration into commercial installations they provide. With Sol-Ark solutions, we find we have fewer lost production hours, faster code-compliant installations and minimal service calls. Their 7 days a week Tech Support is outstanding. I believe Sol-Ark is the industry standard for current and future solar manufacturers, dealers and installers.”
Daryl Dejoy’s leadership and design expertise was instrumental in integrating robust, reliable, and American-made solar technology into the industrial operations at Pinder Tile, ensuring a substantial decrease in carbon emissions and operational costs.
