This project is being implemented for a municipal sports swimming pool in the city of Kalush.
The primary objectives were to reduce electricity costs associated with water heating, filtration, and ventilation, and to provide backup power without the use of diesel generators, ensuring stable operation of the facility.
Solution Delivered
- Installation of a 50 kW rooftop solar power plant on a ballasted mounting system developed and manufactured in-house
(metal structures, ballast, and mounting components) - Phase 1: grid-connected solar power plant
(inverters and PV panels supplied as humanitarian aid) - Phase 2 (planned for November 2025):
- expansion by an additional +50 kW
- transition to a hybrid solar system with 25 kWh BESS
- In Phase 2, PV panels will also be provided as humanitarian aid, while all installation works and consumables are fully financed by the company
Operational Results
The solar power plant is currently generating electricity for the swimming pool, reducing grid electricity consumption by more than 50% during daytime hours. Following the completion of the second phase, the facility will operate with a fully hybrid system that includes battery storage, allowing for up to 10 hours of autonomous operation without an external power supply.
Benefits for the Facility
- Achieve up to a 60% reduction in electricity costs after full commissioning.
- Enjoy silent and safe backup power without the need for diesel generators.
- Utilize a ballasted mounting system that allows for installation without penetrating the roof.
- Benefit from a modular design that enables staged expansion.
- Promote social impact: enhance energy independence for a municipal facility and ensure stable operation of the swimming pool for the local community.
