Completed ground-mount solar array beside a manufacturing facility

Industrial project · Ota, Ogun State

Ota manufacturing facility

A ground-mount hybrid plant with battery storage, built in phases alongside an operating factory.

Demonstration project. Configuration is representative of MBB Energy systems; results shown are design estimates until measured data is published.

Location: Ota, Ogun State
Customer type: Manufacturing plant
Category: Industrial
Project capacity: 50 kVA · 50 kWp · 100 kWh

01 · Initial challenge

The situation before installation.

The factory depended on diesel generation for long production shifts. Fuel logistics, price volatility and generator wear were raising the cost of every unit produced.

02 · Energy requirements

Load profiling across production shifts
≈ 35 kW daytime base load
Storage to cover shift changeovers and reduce generator starts

03 · System configuration

Inverter50 kVA three-phase hybrid inverter system
Solar array50 kWp ground-mount — 91 × 550 Wp modules
Battery storage100 kWh LiFePO₄ battery energy storage
IntegrationDiesel fuel-saver control with grid backup
O&MCommercial Care agreement with remote monitoring

05 · Results

Design outcomes.

Design yield ≈ 61,594 kWh of solar energy per year (4.5 peak sun hours, 75% system efficiency)
Battery reserve ≈ 5.4 hours at a 15,000 W average load
Measured generator-runtime and fuel savings will be published after 12 months of monitoring data
