GreenMore Successfully Delivers 500kW/1205kWh Solar-Storage-Diesel Microgrid Project in Africa

NANJING, China — October 24, 2025

GreenMore has completed the installation and commissioning of a 500 kW solar PV and 1,205 kWh energy storage microgrid at a newly built industrial park in Africa. The fully off-grid power system is now supplying electricity for the park’s production operations. The project was designed and delivered by GreenMore’s engineering team to address the site’s specific constraints: no public grid access, highly fluctuating loads with a large share of inductive equipment, and uncertainty around future demand growth.

System configuration

The first phase of the project is built around a 500 kW solar-storage integrated unit, sized to cover the park’s current load while retaining expansion interfaces for future upgrades as the facility grows.

GreenMore chose a DC-coupled architecture for this installation. The main components are:

• 720 kWp solar PV array — divided into 10 sub-arrays, each connected to dedicated DC/DC modules of the integrated unit.
• 1,205 kWh battery storage — five 241 kWh DC battery cabinets developed by GreenMore, handling load smoothing, voltage and frequency stabilisation.
• 600 kW diesel generator — dispatched by the EMS during sustained poor weather or peak demand events, serving as backup rather than primary generation.

Energy management and dispatch

The GreenMore Energy Management System (EMS) coordinates solar generation, battery charge/discharge and diesel generator start-stop across the site. In normal conditions, solar PV charges the batteries and supplies loads directly; when irradiance drops or load spikes, the EMS adjusts battery output and engages the diesel generator as needed. The control logic prioritises renewable energy use to reduce diesel fuel consumption over the operating year.

Expansion capability

The integrated unit was designed with additional DC and AC bus interfaces. If the industrial park increases its load in subsequent phases — for example by adding new production lines or expanding floor space — additional battery cabinets or PV strings can be connected without replacing the core unit. This modular approach lets the customer match capital expenditure to actual demand growth rather than overbuilding from the start.

Statement from GreenMore

“Off-grid industrial power is one of the most demanding application scenarios — there is no grid to fall back on, so every component must work together reliably under unpredictable loads,” said Jimmy Wang, CEO of GreenMore. “This project required us to size the PV array, battery capacity and diesel backup as a single coordinated system. It also validates our DC-coupled platform, which we see as the right architecture for industrial and commercial sites in regions with weak or no grid infrastructure.”

GreenMore said the project adds to the company’s experience in designing microgrid systems for weak-grid and off-grid industrial, mining and remote commercial sites. The company is evaluating similar configurations for other African and Southeast Asian markets with comparable grid conditions.
