The challenge

Understanding what the site actually required.

A new estate development required dependable backup power when solar production was low and the battery system needed additional charging support. The generator position also had restricted space, limiting access to one side of a conventional canopy.

GenTech SA solution

Engineering the generator solution around the application.

GenTech SA built a 250 kVA Volvo Penta generator for the solar-backup application and modified the canopy arrangement so the ATS/power connection section and routine engine service points could be accessed from the available side of the machine.

Project takeaway

A generator package should be designed around the load, the power system and the space available for safe connection and maintenance.
