1) Grid Level

As a developer, Living Energy can engage from green field to late stage development of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plants, which feed electricity directly into the grid or grid island.

During the engineering design stage the plant is optimised to minimise effect loss on both the PV side (DC) and connection to the grid (AC). Furthermore, the plant design ensures minimal maintenance by taking into consideration environmental factors such as heat, humidity, precipitation, wind loads, dust and sand for each plant design. The plant is constructed to have an operational lifespan of minimum 25 years.

Financing is key to realising such plants and Living Energy can structure financing for such projects provided the FiT (feed in Tarif) is sufficiently attractive and the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is bankable.

3) Energy Storage

Provide constant power regardless of time of day or weather. When integrated with a PV array or just connected to the grid, energy storage solutions allow constant or at least predictable power for electrical loads. Whether this is for facility or residential installations, systems are specified according to need, starting from UPS function to multi-day autonomy.

Different technologies suit different applications. The engineers at Living Energy deliver optimal battery solutions, taking into account:

• Required capacity
• Budget
• Operation (float charge, deep cycle, high temperature, high C rate)
• Required operational life

Battery technology continues to advance, bringing both cost and performance benefits. We offer the latest technologies including super capacitors – and help our customers make the right decision for both today and tomorrow’s requirements.
