Reliable Power for a Competitive Edge

As part of a large-scale subcontract for Emergent Energy, Luken Solar completed a 1.5 MW DC roof-mounted installation for Cascades. The project demanded precision and speed—and our team delivered. The result: a powerful commercial system that enhances energy performance on a significant scale.

As a subcontractor for Emergent Energy, we delivered full-scope installation services for a 1 MW DC grid-tied solar system with diesel generator integration at Ziyabuya Mall. From trenching to final commissioning, our team handled all on-site work, including the construction of custom inverter kiosks, to ensure a seamless and durable installation built for performance and long-term savings.

We installed a 985 kW AC grid-tied system with Genset integration and custom-built walkways for Esikhaweni Plaza, owned by the Schoonhoven family of Schoonhoven Enterprises. The system was tailored to offset the plaza’s major daytime energy demand, driven by refrigeration and air conditioning loads, and significantly reduce diesel consumption during generator use. With this setup, Esikhaweni Plaza now benefits from greater energy stability and up to 70% savings on daytime diesel costs, supporting both operational efficiency and long-term cost control.

We installed an 880 kW DC grid-tied system with Genset integration and walkways at Esikhaweni Mall, working alongside the Schoonhoven family of Schoonhoven Enterprises. This tailored system was built to offset the mall’s highest energy demands during the day, particularly from refrigeration and air conditioning. With integrated generator support, the mall has significantly reduced its diesel usage by up to 70%, improved grid stability, and achieved greater long-term cost savings.

As a subcontractor for SPS, we handled the full installation of an 833.94 kW grid-tied system with Genset integration at Moffet on Main. From start to finish, our team delivered a seamless installation designed to support generator efficiency, helping the site improve energy resilience and cost control.

We provided full subcontracted installation services for this 676 kW grid-tied solar system with generator integration. From trenching to final connection, we delivered a complete solution that helps the mall reduce diesel dependency and stabilise daytime energy use – all without disrupting operations.

We installed a 454 kW grid-tied system with Genset integration and custom-built walkways to support safe and efficient access. Designed to meet the store’s peak daytime energy needs, especially refrigeration and air conditioning, this system reduces diesel consumption by up to 70% during the day, while improving power stability and lowering operational costs.

To help Spar King Williams Town manage high daytime energy demands from refrigeration and air conditioning, we installed a 440kW grid-tied system with Genset integration. The system was designed to optimise solar usage during peak operational hours, significantly reducing reliance on diesel when generators run during the day. The result: major cost savings, improved energy stability, and up to 70% less diesel consumption during daylight hours.

Retailers like Spar Fort Beaufort face high refrigeration and lighting demands – and unreliable power can disrupt business. We installed a grid-tied solar system to maintain consistent uptime. By slashing daytime electricity costs and improving energy reliability during outages, the store has seen meaningful cost savings and greater peace of mind for day-to-day operations.

We installed a 253 kW AC grid-tied system with Genset integration and custom walkways at Junction Mall, in partnership with the Schoonhoven family of Schoonhoven Enterprises. The system was designed to optimise energy usage during peak daytime demand, especially for refrigeration and air conditioning, while significantly reducing diesel generator reliance. With Genset integration, the mall now enjoys more stable power and up to 70% savings on daytime diesel costs, helping to drive long-term energy efficiency and financial performance.

At Spar Ridgeway, daily refrigeration, air conditioning, and lighting costs were escalating. We installed a grid-tied system designed to optimise daytime energy usage and reduce overheads. The installation supports uninterrupted trading even during load shedding, making the business more resilient while unlocking long-term savings on electricity costs.

Situated in a small town with frequent load shedding, Spar Ugie needed a solar solution that could ensure uninterrupted daily operations. We delivered a roof mount system optimised for peak trading hours. This allowed the store to cut energy costs, reduce reliance on diesel generators, and maintain a consistent shopping experience for the local community.

As part of subcontracted work for Emergent Energy, we installed a 123 kW grid-tied system with Genset integration at Westway Mall. Our team managed the full installation from start to finish, including night work to complete the solar system tie-in with minimal disruption to operations. The result: cleaner, more cost-effective daytime energy and reduced reliance on diesel during grid outages.

Car dealerships like Eagle Ford require consistent power for lighting, displays, security systems, and service centres. We designed and installed a grid-tied system that offsets daytime consumption. This solution has lowered operational costs and supports the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Retailers like CTM rely on well-lit showrooms and energy-heavy warehousing to deliver an exceptional customer experience. We delivered a high-performance, grid-tied solar system to support daily operations and manage high electricity usage. The solution cuts energy costs, ensures business continuity, and strengthens the store’s green credentials in a competitive market.

We completed a full subcontract installation for Spar Hercules, delivering a 100kW DC grid-tied solar system. Our team managed the project from start to finish, ensuring a smooth installation that helps the store reduce daytime electricity costs and benefit from a cleaner, more efficient power supply.

To help reduce rising energy costs and diesel dependency, we installed an 80 kW DC / 100 kW AC grid-tied solar system with Genset integration at FreshStop Maclear. Designed to offset the store’s peak daytime usage, the system significantly lowers electricity bills while cutting diesel consumption by up to 70% when the generator runs during the day.

To stay ahead of rising energy costs and strengthen their competitive edge, Nick’s Bottle Store partnered with Luken Solar for a smart energy solution. We installed a 58kW DC tilted-frame solar system with a hybrid DEYE battery setup, providing clean and reliable power. A forward-thinking move by a proactive client committed to long-term savings and resilience.
