Project Overview

This commercial solar and storage project was developed for a large industrial park in Manila, Philippines, aiming to reduce peak electricity costs and improve overall power reliability. The hybrid energy system combines solar photovoltaic (PV) generation with battery energy storage to support continuous factory operation during grid fluctuations and optimize daily energy consumption.


Challenges

The industrial park faced several energy challenges:

  • Frequent grid fluctuations causing production interruptions
  • High peak electricity tariffs increasing operational costs
  • Need for uninterrupted power supply to critical manufacturing lines
  • Desire to optimize energy consumption and reduce carbon footprint

Solution

A 20 MW solar PV system using 620W N-Type high-efficiency modules was integrated with a battery energy storage system. The hybrid microgrid intelligently manages energy flows:

  • Prioritizes solar power during daylight hours
  • Stores excess energy for peak demand periods
  • Reduces reliance on grid power during high-tariff periods
  • Supports selected loads during grid instability within the configured system limits

This approach enables the industrial park to lower energy costs, improve operational reliability, and enhance sustainability.


Results & Benefits

  • Reliable Power Supply: Continuous electricity for 24/7 industrial operations
  • Peak Cost Reduction: Optimized use of solar and storage reduces high grid tariffs
  • Operational Savings: Less reliance on grid energy lowers electricity bills
  • Enhanced Sustainability: Reduced carbon emissions through solar energy usage
  • High-Efficiency Solar Generation: 620W N-Type panels provide excellent energy yield under tropical conditions

Building a Procurement Scope Around Industrial Park Loads

A solar storage system for industrial parks should reflect both shared infrastructure and individual production loads. This Manila case combines 20MW of PV using 620W N-type modules with battery storage. For industrial solar plus storage procurement, identify which loads follow normal self-consumption dispatch and which require a defined backup arrangement.

When assessing commercial energy storage for peak shaving, use interval demand data and the applicable tariff to develop the operating strategy. Review our C&I PV and BESS solutions with the solar module range. The equipment schedule should distinguish PV capacity, battery output power and usable stored energy before supply terms are finalized.
