OUR COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES..
​​​
AM Solar are a specialist Commercial Solar PV EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) company.
​
We focus on Roof-Top PV systems ranging from 10kWp to 10MWp that will either Reverse Council Meters (Nett-Metering) or will supply the buildings electrical load as an optimised "Self-Consumption" supply model and Hybrid / Backup Solutions, with Standby Generator Integration (Gene Fuel-Saver technology).
Commercial Topology Options

Grid-Tied Systems
Solar PV (photovoltaic) roof-top, Grid-Tied systems are the most common type of solar PV installation around the world (93% of all PV systems are grid-tied). These systems do not store their energy in battery banks.
​
Note: AM Solar refer to Grid-Tie systems as Power.SAVE systems.
​
Grid-Tie systems have no attached batteries or storage, in effect they use the Grid as their storage.
Electricity produced during the daytime by the sun is either used in the dwelling/building or directed back into the electricity grid, this puts your power usage into credit (i.e. Nett-Zero Energy Building).
These Roof-Top systems can either Reverse the utility meter or are designed for close to 100% Self-Consumption usage.
Grid-Tied systems effectivley reduce or eliminate the KWh portion of the electricity bill, thereby reducing or eliminating this cost.
Typical Day-Time load type buildings (i.e. operate during day-time hours 7am to 6pm) can be reduced to Nett-Zero energy from the grid (eskom) while other building types may only achive portional savings (10% to 90%), this being known as a Self-Consumption approach
The initial cost in Investing in this Technology is typically offset within 1 to 3 years and the long term savings (30+ years) can be significant, with IRR's 15% to 70%.
​
Hybrid / Grid-Interactive Systems​
Grid-interactive/Hybrid /ESS PV systems give users more choices and greater flexibility, while increasing the level of reliability in deployments.
A Grid-Interactive/ESS system can bee seen as a combination of an Off-Grid/Hybrid system (with a battery bank) and a Grid-Tied system (uses the grid as backup and/or sell excess energy into the grid i.e. Nett-Metering).
​
Note: AM Solar refer to Hybrid/Off-Grid systems as Power.SURE systems.
​
Thus it is a Commercial Grid-Tied system with a battery bank installed to store some energy for later use or for back-up under grid-failure conditions.
The battery bank can typically be smaller than what is required in an off-grid system; sized to drive just the essential load(s) during a power-outage, with the grid as a reliable backup energy source for bad weather days.
Grid-Interactive or Hybrid Systems in Commercial or Industrial Scale installations would be used to power essential or mission-critical loads (e.g. Computer server rooms, fridges, key-equipment) during grid-failures and/or would be used to reduce peak loads (i.e. Peak-Shaving), thereby reducing the KVA Load component of the electricity bill.
AM Solar are experienced grid-interactive pv system designers, suppliers and installers.
