75kW Hybrid Solar Solution for Ice Factory in Djibouti

Introduction

For ice production businesses, a stable electricity supply is essential. Frequent power outages can stop production, affect cold storage operations, and create significant financial losses.

To solve these challenges, Tanfon designed and installed a customized 75kW hybrid solar solution for an ice factory in Djibouti. The system combines solar photovoltaic generation, battery storage, and a three-phase inverter to provide reliable electricity for continuous industrial operations.

With excellent solar resources in Djibouti, the customer selected renewable energy to reduce the impact of unstable grid power and ensure uninterrupted operation of ice-making and cold storage equipment. This project demonstrates how professional solar power installation can help industrial customers achieve energy independence and reduce operational risks.

① Location

In Djibouti

② Customer Type

For an ice factory and cold storage facility

③ Project Challenge

The customer operated an ice production facility that depended heavily on grid electricity. However, frequent power interruptions caused serious problems:

• Ice production could not continue during blackouts
• Cold storage operation was affected
• Factory productivity was reduced
• Business revenue was impacted

For ice factories, continuous electricity is critical because refrigeration systems must operate for long periods to maintain product quality.

The customer needed a reliable energy solution that could provide stable power even when the grid failed.

④ Solution

After evaluating the factory's electricity demand, Tanfon provided a customized 75kW hybrid solar solution.

The system combines:

• Solar photovoltaic panels
• Battery energy storage
• Hybrid solar inverter
• Intelligent energy management

During daytime operation, solar energy supplies electricity directly to the ice factory while charging the battery storage system.

When grid power is unavailable, the stored energy automatically supports factory loads, ensuring continuous operation of refrigeration equipment and ice production machines.

This professional solar power installation provides a cleaner and more reliable alternative to traditional backup power solutions.
