Straight answers before the first call.

Utility and industrial sites where electricity is a material cost and an outage stops production: mines, factories, cold stores, data centres, commercial property and IPP plants. Systems start at 1 MWh and parallel upwards. We do not do residential, rooftop-only solar without storage, or small back-up inverters.

Twelve months of interval data (30-minute resolution if you have it), your tariff schedule, your notified maximum demand and a short description of the site. From that we return a sizing, an indicative capex and a PPA rate within five working days.

No. The first sizing and indicative pricing are free and carry no obligation. If the numbers do not work for your site, we will say so.

Yes. Under our power purchase agreement AMPROTEQ designs, funds, builds, owns, operates and maintains the plant on your site and you pay for the energy at an agreed rate with a fixed annual escalation, over 10 to 25 years, with no capital outlay.

The battery is designed for 20 years of daily cycling. Where an agreement runs longer, or contracted capacity must hold for the full term, it includes planned augmentation: modules are added or replaced as state of health falls, and that cost is priced into the rate from day one.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) only, in 314 Ah prismatic cells, liquid-cooled and run at 0.5C or below. LFP is thermally stable, contains no cobalt or nickel and has the cycle life a 20-year commercial model needs.

The Systems page publishes the cell manufacturer's measured 20-year test set by dispatch duty. At one full cycle a day and 98 % depth of discharge, the cells reach 80 % state of health in about year 11 and 70 % in about year 19, after roughly 7 000 full cycles.

Two figures, on two bases: 94.0 % DC round trip for the battery at beginning of life, and at least 88 % AC to AC for the complete system including conversion and auxiliaries. Our savings models use the AC figure.

Eskom Megaflex, Miniflex and the other time-of-use tariffs, and municipal time-of-use schedules, including seasonal changes, weekday, Saturday and Sunday variants and the notified maximum demand charge.

Where the site needs it, an integrated static transfer switch moves the plant to island mode in under 10 ms, and grid-forming conversion can black-start the site from the battery. A reserve is held back for that purpose, sized against your process.

The interface is designed to NRS 097-2-1 and the South African grid connection code for renewable power plants, and we prepare the grid-code studies and the connection application with the utility.

Each container has aspirating smoke detection, gas detection and aerosol suppression. Site layout follows the installation manual and NFPA 855 guidance on separation and clearances, and LFP itself has a high thermal-runaway threshold and releases no oxygen.

Yes. For well-defined system configurations we can arrange standardised financing with commercial banks, and O&M can be carried under a separate maintenance agreement.

No. The Savings Studio reads your bill and interval data in your browser. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to request the proposal report, and then only the contact details you type in.
