The system will also power their home &#8211; which is under construction. Fuel savings are projected to be about $13,000US per year. Silence is priceless.<\/p>\n<p>The new energy system was designed and installed by <a href=\"http:\/\/greenpowerco.com.au\" target=\"_blank\">GreenPower Co<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/solarfiji.org\" target=\"_blank\">Solar Fiji<\/a>. It had to be compatible with a back-up generator\u00a0which the factory already owned (a Geko 4kVa 3-phase Diesel); and because Yanuyanu food production is a young business, they needed their off-grid system to be expandable &#8211; allowing it to grow with the company.<\/p>\n<p>Solar Fiji&#8217;s director <em><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Joe Baravi<\/span><\/em>\u00a0was delighted to be awarded the contract for this installation &#8211; it&#8217;s one of the largest they have completed:<\/p>\n<p>Forty-two Canadian Solar Hiku 400w solar panels with 16.8kWp have been chosen; along with a 28kWh bank of <a href=\"https:\/\/simpliphipower.com\" target=\"_blank\">Simpliphi<\/a> 48volt Lithium Phosphate Batteries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17260 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"831\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073.jpg 831w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073-750x562.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Commercial-3-Phase-Victron-Off-Grid-Solar-System-in-Taveuni-Fiji_108839073-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the strengths of Victron Energy&#8217;s equipment is its extensive compatibility with third-party manufacturers &#8211; at the heart of this installation lies a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/panel-systems-remote-monitoring\/color-control\" target=\"_blank\">Color Control GX<\/a>, offering remote management, and controlling power harvest and storage via:<\/p>\n<div>1 x <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/solar-charge-controllers\/bluesolar-mppt-150-35\" target=\"_blank\">Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150\/45-Tr<\/a><\/div>\n<div>3 x <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/solar-charge-controllers\/smartsolar-250-85-250-100\" target=\"_blank\">Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250\/85<\/a><\/div>\n<p>15kVA of continuous power (30kVA peak) is made available for running the plant by 3 x\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/inverters-chargers\/multiplus-12v-24v-48v-800va-3kva\" target=\"_blank\">MultiPlus 48\/5000 Inverter\/Chargers<\/a>\u00a0which have been configured for 3-phase operation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>With MultiPlus, as their business grows &#8211; so the installation can be expanded.
