CGI Solar Solutions has completed the installation and commissioning of a 48kVA hybrid solar power system at The Golf Prince Hotel in Abana, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The project combines a 35.1kWp solar PV array, 60kWh lithium battery storage and hybrid inverter technology to provide the hotel with a more reliable and efficient approach to managing its power needs.
Project Overview
Hotels and other hospitality businesses have a continuous need for dependable electricity. From guest rooms and lighting to refrigeration, air conditioning, offices and other essential services, reliable power is an important part of keeping daily operations running smoothly.
For The Golf Prince Hotel, CGI Solar Solutions designed and installed a hybrid energy system that combines solar generation, battery storage and inverter technology to provide a more efficient approach to power management.
System Specifications
- 48kVA hybrid inverter
- 60kWh lithium battery storage
- 54 × 650W bifacial solar panels
- 35.1kWp total solar PV capacity
46.8kWp Bifacial Solar Array
A total of 72 × 650W bifacial solar panels were installed as part of the project, providing a combined solar PV capacity of 35.1kWp.
Bifacial solar panels are designed to capture sunlight from both sides of the panel. Depending on factors such as installation conditions and the reflectivity of the surrounding surface, this technology can help maximise energy generation from the available solar array.
60kWh Lithium Battery Storage
The system also includes 60kWh of lithium battery storage, providing the hotel with a substantial energy reserve for periods when solar generation is reduced or additional stored energy is required.
Battery storage is an important part of a hybrid solar system because it allows available solar energy to be stored and used when needed. This gives commercial facilities greater flexibility in managing their electricity throughout the day.
48kVA Hybrid Inverter
At the centre of the system is a 48kVA hybrid inverter, which manages the interaction between the solar PV array, battery storage, utility supply and connected loads.
The hybrid configuration allows the different energy sources to work together as part of an integrated power system, giving the hotel greater flexibility in how electricity is generated, stored and supplied to its loads.
Installation and Commissioning
Delivering a commercial solar installation involves more than installing panels and connecting an inverter. Proper planning, equipment configuration, electrical connections, testing and commissioning are essential to ensure that the completed system operates as intended.
For the Golf Prince Hotel project, the CGI Solar Solutions team handled the installation of the solar PV system, hybrid inverter and lithium battery storage, followed by system testing and commissioning.
The completed installation provides the hotel with an integrated solar and battery solution designed around its operational energy requirements.
Why Hybrid Solar for Commercial Facilities?
For hotels and other commercial facilities, electricity is an essential part of daily operations. A hybrid solar system provides an alternative way of generating and managing power by combining solar energy, battery storage and other available power sources.
Solar generation can help reduce dependence on conventional electricity sources, while battery storage provides the flexibility to store available energy and use it when required.
The actual energy savings and reduction in generator usage will depend on the facility’s load profile, operating hours, energy consumption and system configuration. This is why proper assessment and system sizing are important when planning a commercial solar installation.
