Keeping a plastics plant in production where the grid can’t
A plastics-recycling plant on an unstable grid needed dependable, lower-cost power to keep production running. A PV-plus-storage system stabilised supply and shifted load to cleaner, cheaper energy.

720 kWp PV array
Stable production supply
The background
The customer is a plastics recycling and reprocessing enterprise. The local grid is unstable while the production process demands high, continuous power — every interruption costs output.
The challenge
Production cannot tolerate an unreliable grid, and grid power was both unstable and expensive.
- Grid instability interrupted a power-hungry, continuous production process.
- Energy costs weighed on the plant’s margins.
- The site needed cleaner, more predictable energy to keep running.
The solution
A 720 kWp PV array paired with 300 kW / 1 MWh of storage to stabilise supply and shift load to solar.
PV covers production during daylight; the battery stores surplus and bridges grid interruptions so the line keeps moving.
The system shifts the plant’s load onto cheaper, cleaner self-generated energy, reducing reliance on an unreliable and costly grid.
Why this design
The advantages
Cheaper clean energy
Self-generated solar lowers energy cost and improves the plant’s economics.
Local impact
Stable, lower-cost power helped the business grow and supported local jobs.
