Solar and battery solutions for Mining and Heavy Industry

Mining and heavy industrial sites can have demanding electrical environments, remote locations, critical processes and complex operating constraints. End Loadshedding accepts project enquiries for solar PV and battery solutions, subject to detailed technical, safety, grid and site-access review.

Project availability, site assessment, technical scope and installation arrangements are confirmed individually. This page describes the type of projects we assess, not a guarantee that every site or application is suitable.

UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION

Solar planning for Mining and Heavy Industry.

The assessment must distinguish essential services from high-demand process equipment and understand how the facility operates during normal conditions, planned maintenance and grid interruptions. Site access, safety induction, environmental exposure and grid connection requirements can materially affect the project scope.

What we need to assess

  • Load studies, demand profiles and critical process circuits
  • Motor starting, power quality and protection coordination
  • Site access, safety requirements and operating constraints
  • PV land availability, dust, shading and environmental exposure
  • Grid connection, utility approvals and control integration
  • Battery duty, redundancy, maintenance and lifecycle planning

How system capacity is selected

The 20kW, 40kW, 50kW, 80kW and 100kW examples on our website are illustrative configurations. The appropriate system depends on the site load profile, peak demand, operating schedule, electrical supply, available PV area, battery duty and grid requirements. A technical review is required before a design or performance estimate can be confirmed.

For background on the available configurations, visit the commercial high-voltage solar range.

PROJECT ASSESSMENT

From operating data to project scope.

We establish the site's electrical requirements before confirming system selection, pricing or installation scope.

01

Review energy use

Study bills, interval data, demand peaks and operating schedules.

02

Identify critical loads

Understand which processes need support and for how long.

03

Assess the site

Review PV space, electrical infrastructure and grid requirements.

04

Document the proposal

Confirm equipment, scope, assumptions, exclusions and programme.

PROJECT FAQs

Mining and Heavy Industry solar project questions

Can solar be used at a mining operation?

Solar PV may form part of an energy strategy, but feasibility depends on the load profile, site conditions, grid arrangement, safety controls, land availability and project economics.

Can batteries provide backup for critical mine loads?

Battery systems can be assessed for defined critical loads and operating objectives. Required power, energy, response time, redundancy and controls must be engineered for the application.

What is required before a mining site visit?

The project team should first confirm the site location, scope, access process, safety induction requirements, electrical information and the responsible site contact.

Do you install the same system size at every site?

No. The illustrated 20kW to 100kW configurations are examples. Equipment selection, system capacity, installation scope and expected operation must be confirmed for each site.
