The challenge
The mill ran entirely on diesel. Fuel was its largest cost after raw rice, and outages during processing meant spoiled batches and idle staff.
What we built
A 250kW solar array with storage, engineered around the mill's motor loads and processing schedule, with the grid and gensets as backup.
The results
- Processing energy cost down 44%
- Reliable power to run a night shift
- Diesel now a rare backup, not a daily expense
“Fuel used to be our second-biggest cost. Now the mill runs on solar by day and we've added a shift.”
