Project Overview

Toyon Energy delivered a 15MW C&I Hybrid Solar System for a large logistics center in Monterrey, Mexico. The project was designed to meet the facility's growing energy demand while reducing dependence on grid electricity and improving operational sustainability.

By integrating high-efficiency 585W bifacial solar panels with an advanced battery energy storage system (BESS), the solution provides clean, reliable power for warehouse operations, automated logistics equipment, and transportation infrastructure throughout the day.

Challenges

The logistics center faced several energy-related challenges:

• High daytime electricity consumption from warehouse automation systems and logistics equipment.
• Rising utility costs impacting overall operational efficiency.
• The need for uninterrupted power to support critical logistics and transportation activities.
• Increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainability targets.

These challenges required an energy solution capable of delivering both cost savings and reliable power performance.

Solution

Toyon Energy designed and implemented a customized hybrid solar-plus-storage solution featuring:

• 15MW photovoltaic system utilizing high-efficiency 585W bifacial solar modules.
• Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store excess solar energy and provide backup power when needed.
• Intelligent energy management system for optimized power distribution and peak-load management.
• Seamless integration with the existing grid infrastructure to ensure stable and continuous operations.

The hybrid configuration enables the facility to maximize solar self-consumption while maintaining energy security during periods of high demand.

Results & Benefits

Following project commissioning, the logistics center achieved significant operational and environmental benefits:

• Substantial reduction in daytime electricity costs.
• Improved energy independence through on-site renewable power generation.
• Enhanced power reliability for automated warehouse and logistics operations.
• Reduced exposure to grid fluctuations and peak electricity pricing.
• Lower carbon footprint and improved environmental performance.
• Increased utilization of clean energy across facility operations.

Project Outcome

The successful deployment of the 15MW Hybrid Solar and Battery Storage System has transformed the logistics center's energy infrastructure, delivering a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable power solution.

The project demonstrates how commercial and industrial solar energy systems combined with battery storage can help logistics facilities reduce operating costs, improve energy resilience, and support long-term sustainability goals. It also serves as a benchmark for large-scale logistics and warehousing operations seeking to accelerate their transition toward clean energy solutions.
