Overview
Resolute Engineering Group recently completed a bespoke Solar PV installation for ABS Building Supplies, a company with significant electricity usage driven by both their busy operations and a large fleet of vehicles. The project was designed to help offset energy costs, increase sustainability, and support their growing demand for clean, renewable energy.
System Specifications
System Size: 22.8kW
Panels: 48 x AE Solar 475W high-efficiency panels
Inverter: 20kW KSTAR Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: 40kW Battery System for enhanced energy storage and backup
Mounting System: Schletter Flat Grid equipment – designed for flat roof applications, providing secure, aerodynamic, and long-lasting support.
Design & Execution
ABS Building Supplies operates extensive facilities and maintains a large vehicle fleet, resulting in high daily electricity consumption. Our engineering team designed a 22.8kW solar PV system to meet these energy demands, ensuring maximum energy generation and storage capabilities.
We installed 48 AE Solar 475W panels, known for their exceptional efficiency and performance, paired with a 20kW KSTAR Hybrid Inverter to manage both on-site power conversion and battery integration. The 40kW battery system allows the company to store excess energy generated during the day for use during peak hours or overnight — a key advantage for their fleet charging and operational needs.
The system was securely mounted using Schletter Flat Grid equipment, ensuring stability and optimal performance on the building’s flat roof while maintaining weather resistance and structural integrity.
