A coastal cold storage operator in Seychelles needed a compact solar power system to support refrigerated goods used in food, seafood, and hospitality supply operations.

The project site uses a containerized cold room with solar PV installed on a nearby steel mounting structure. In an island environment where grid reliability and fuel cost can affect daily operation, the customer required a practical solar solution for refrigeration equipment and essential site loads.

WHC Power configured a 50kW commercial solar power system with approx. 100kWh energy storage support. The system helps improve power reliability for cold storage operation, reduce diesel generator dependence, and provide backup energy during unstable grid conditions.

Project Background

Cold storage facilities depend on continuous power to maintain stable temperatures. For coastal and island businesses, power interruptions can increase the risk of product loss, while long diesel generator operation adds pressure to daily operating costs.

This project was built around a compact cold chain facility where installation space was limited, but solar generation and backup reliability were both important for daily refrigeration, lighting, and basic operating equipment.

Project Challenges

The customer needed a system that could integrate solar PV, power conversion, and backup support within a limited installation area.

The coastal site also required a practical mounting structure, reliable electrical integration, and a system layout suitable for outdoor operation in humid conditions.

WHC Power Solution

WHC Power provided a complete commercial solar power solution including solar PV configuration, hybrid inverter integration, lithium battery storage support, and system matching for cold storage loads.

The system uses solar energy during the day and stores surplus power for backup support, helping the facility reduce diesel generator use and maintain more stable operation when grid power is unreliable.

System Configuration

Solar Capacity: 50kW commercial solar power system

Battery Support: approx. 100kWh energy storage backup

Inverter Type: hybrid inverter system

System Type: solar PV + energy storage support

Application: cold storage solar power and refrigeration backup support
