IBIS Bottled Water Factory, Nkwerre-Imo
100kVA industrial solar power plant eliminating diesel dependency for a high-volume water bottling facility.
The Challenge
The IBIS Bottled Water Factory operated three diesel generators running total of about 12-18 hours daily to power bottle washers, filling lines, UV sterilization, shrink wrapper, reverse osmosis machine, pet blower, cold storage, and office operations. Monthly diesel costs exceeded ₦4.2 million, with frequent engine failures causing production downtime and missed delivery deadlines.
Generator noise and fumes created an uncomfortable work environment, and rising diesel prices were eroding already thin manufacturing margins.
Our Solution
We engineered and installed a 100kVA off-grid solar power plant with 122.4kWh lithium battery storage. The system was sized to handle peak loads of 90kVA during bottle washing and filling cycles while maintaining reserve for overnight cold storage.
The installation features 100 high-efficiency monocrystalline panels, a 100kVA pure sine wave industrial inverter, and climate-controlled battery housing engineered for Nigerian heat and humidity.
How We Delivered
Load Assessment & Site Survey
Our engineers audited energy consumption across all production lines and measured available space to design an optimal panel layout.
Custom System Design
We blueprinted a 100kVA system with 122.4kWh battery backup, sized precisely for the factory's 24-hour operational demand.
Professional Installation
Certified technicians installed panels, inverters, and battery banks within 4 weeks with zero disruption to production schedules.
Monitoring & Handover
Remote monitoring dashboard activated. Staff trained on daily monitoring and maintenance procedures.
Results
- check_circle Monthly diesel spend dropped from ₦4.2M to less than ₦0.5M within the first billing cycle.
- check_circle System has maintained near-perfect uptime since commissioning with only scheduled maintenance pauses.
- check_circle Projected ROI based on drastically reduced diesel cost, maintenance, and generator replacement costs.
- check_circle Zero downtime incidents related to power since system activation.
System Specifications
We were skeptical that solar could handle our pet blower and complete bottled water line with shrink wrapper. ZangoSolar proved the numbers and delivered exactly what they promised. Our production has never been more stable.
