It is an off-grid installation in Quintana Roo that is complemented by a 120 kWh lithium battery storage system. It covers 100% of the sites annual requirements and displaces a diesel generator.
At a fishing resort located in Punta Allen, Tulum municipality, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, a 24 kWp off-grid installation, backed by a 120 kWh lithium battery storage system, replaces a generator, thereby reducing the use of approximately 3,500 liters of diesel per month.
The sport fishing lodge, with capacity for eight people, is called Mayazul and belongs to Kautapen Group, which is developing a macro project to reduce environmental impact to promote sustainability and the use of renewable energy.
The company in charge of the development and installation process of the photovoltaic system was Nexo Energía, a company with offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to developing, building and operating power generation plants from renewable sources.
“The project was born out of the client’s need to reduce its operating costs for the use of the generator and associated fuel; thus, it has managed to reduce its monthly cost from around 6 thousand dollars to almost zero,” explains Hector Natera, project engineer/consultant, to pv magazine , adding that the amortization will occur in approximately one year.
The system is made up of 43 Canadian Solar 550 Wp solar modules and four Growatt Offgrid 6 kW Splitphase inverters, while the energy storage system consists of 24 Growatt Axe 5.0 kWh batteries. |
