Welons Solar PV + Storage Project for Sarangani Bay Seafood Processing Inc.

Client: Sarangani Bay Seafood Processing Inc.

Location: General Santos City, Philippines

Service: Design, Supply & Installation of Solar PV + Battery Energy Storage System

We are proud to present our completed solar PV and battery energy storage project for Sarangani Bay Seafood Processing Inc., a leading seafood processing and cold storage facility in General Santos City — the Tuna Capital of the Philippines. This project delivered a full turnkey renewable energy solution — from rooftop photovoltaic arrays and hybrid inverters to high-capacity LiFePO4 battery storage — engineered to cut electricity costs, ensure uninterrupted power for cold storage operations, and support the client's sustainability goals in the tropical southern Philippines.

Seafood processing and cold storage are among the most energy-intensive operations in the Philippines, and General Santos City faces some of the region's highest electricity costs along with grid instability and frequent outages. For this project, the client sought a solution that would:

• Drastically reduce monthly electricity costs — refrigeration loads dominate their utility bill
• Provide reliable backup power during grid outages to protect frozen and chilled inventory from spoilage
• Withstand the tropical coastal climate: high temperatures, humidity, heavy rain, strong typhoon winds, and salt-laden sea air
• Maximize on-site solar generation to reduce dependence on the utility grid
• Meet strict safety, hygiene, and quality standards for food-industry electrical installations

We delivered a custom-engineered solar PV + storage system tailored to the client's needs:

• High-Efficiency Solar Generation: Premium PV panels installed on the facility's rooftop, optimized for high-yield performance under intense tropical sunlight.
• Smart Hybrid Inverters: Advanced hybrid inverter technology intelligently manages solar, grid, and battery power to maximize self-consumption and savings.
• Safe & Durable Energy Storage: LiFePO4 battery storage with robust thermal management and corrosion-resistant, IP-rated outdoor enclosures protected under a steel rain canopy on raised foundations — built for reliable long-term operation in the humid, typhoon- and salt-air-prone coastal environment.
• Seamless Backup Power: Automatic switchover ensures uninterrupted power during outages, keeping cold storage running and inventory safe.
• Turnkey Project Management: One accountable team handled everything — from site survey and system design to supply, installation, and after-sales support.

• Significant Electricity Cost Savings: The system substantially reduced the client's monthly utility bills through high solar self-consumption and peak-shaving.
• Uninterrupted Cold Storage Operations: Seamless backup power eliminated downtime and protected refrigerated inventory from spoilage during grid outages.
• Long-Term Sustainability: Clean solar energy reduced the client's carbon footprint, supporting their environmental and ESG commitments.
• Ready for Future Expansion: The modular system design allows easy capacity expansion as the client's operations grow.

This project underscores Welons' commitment to delivering complete, reliable solar + storage solutions for the Philippine market — from PV panels and inverters to energy storage — with professional engineering and full after-sales support.
