Production and refrigeration
We request load data and operating hours for production lines and continuous cooling. Night shifts, weekends, equipment cleaning and planned shutdowns are reviewed separately.

QUANTAI ENERGY / FOOD PRODUCTION
Solar power for food production
We assess solar around production lines, refrigeration and building systems. Plant size follows actual demand, available space and the site's electrical connection.
Start with the production schedule
Solar can replace purchased electricity when it is generated and consumed on site. For dairy, meat, bakery and other food operations, we first review shifts, continuous loads and shutdowns. Roof area is one constraint; the overlap between generation and demand also shapes the economics.
What we check
Roof and site operations
We check the structure, roof condition, shading and maintenance access. Work zones and installation schedules are agreed with the customer, accounting for production and site hygiene restrictions.
Supplies and grid export
We review single-line diagrams, transformers, connection points and protection. Export limiting and multiple electrical supplies are assessed against the site's actual electrical layout.
One site, different demand patterns
This explains the assessment method without assumed savings percentages. For each operating pattern, hourly demand is compared with modeled solar output.
Working day
We check how much generation production lines, refrigeration and building systems could consume at the same time under normal operation.
Night shift
Night demand is assessed separately. Grid-tied solar without storage does not move daytime output into the night or replace backup power.
Weekend or shutdown
We identify minimum daytime demand and potential surplus generation, then review system size and export limiting.
Results require data from the specific facility. Battery storage and backup supply, if required, are assessed separately.
Who funds the system
Customer-funded construction
The customer funds and owns the system. Scope, budget, schedule and service follow a site assessment and are set out in the offer and contract.
Explore the design scope →Purchase solar electricity through PPA
An investor funds and owns the system, and the customer pays for delivered solar electricity. Financing, tariff and term depend on site assessment and contract terms.
PPA terms →05 / ASSESSMENT OUTPUT
What you receive
- An initial capacity range and installation options
- An annual generation and on-site consumption scenario with stated assumptions
- An EPC budget structure or inputs for further PPA assessment
- Constraints, missing data and a proposed next stage
06 / SITE DATA
What to prepare
Start with the information you have. Documents and missing inputs can be clarified after the first enquiry.
- Site address, production type and an energy contact
- Electricity use for the last three months and tariff; for seasonal review, 12 months and hourly data if available
- Shifts, continuous loads, weekends and planned shutdowns
- Roof or site plan, photographs, single-line diagram and connection conditions, where available
Before the project starts
Can we start without hourly load data?
Yes. Monthly use and the operating schedule can support an initial assessment. On-site consumption and capacity limits then need hourly data or measurements.
Will solar power refrigeration at night?
Grid-tied solar without storage generates in daylight. Night supply remains from the grid; batteries and backup are separate solutions.
Can installation happen while the plant operates?
Feasibility and scheduling follow a site assessment. Connection work, roof access, safety and production restrictions must be agreed; an outage cannot be ruled out in advance.
Could the site use PPA financing?
This depends on daytime demand, tariff, site rights, contract terms and investor requirements. Financing and the PPA rate require a site assessment.
