In the heart of Modimolle, where every hour of operation counts, MBT Petroleum faced a familiar challenge: unreliable electricity supply threatening their business continuity.
As a key fuel provider in the area, staying open and available to customers was paramount. However, frequent power failures and load shedding were disrupting their operations and eating into their profits by using a generator due to the availability of fuel, but consuming your very own sales product does not help your pocket.
Recognising the need for a more sustainable and cost-effective solution, MBT Petroleum turned to Red Energy for assistance. After a thorough analysis and consideration, the decision was clear: solar power offered the best financial and operational benefits for their business.
Despite initial scepticism about the rapid return on investment, MBT Petroleum quickly realised the financial advantages of going solar. With the money saved on electricity bills, they were able to reinvest in their business and expand their offerings, becoming a 24/7 operation and the go-to destination for fuel and convenience in Modimolle.
Going solar wasn’t just about cutting costs for MBT Petroleum—it was about investing in their future growth and success. By harnessing the power of the sun, they became more than just a fuel provider; they became a beacon of reliability, availability, and profitability in their community.
This is what our team installed for them: 30kWp solar panels with OHM grid-tie inverter
Now, MBT Petroleum could say goodbye to the constant expense of fuelling their generators during power outages (ironic, isn’t it?). Instead, they embraced a cleaner, more reliable source of energy that not only saved them money but also positioned them as a more sustainable and environmentally conscious business.
