Industrial facilities cannot afford downtime. Rising tariffs, peak demand, voltage dips, and power outages can directly affect production, refrigeration, logistics, and safety systems. Rubikon specializes in designing and installing industrial solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics hubs, and service centers, including tire services and car washes.
We provide comprehensive turnkey EPC solutions – from audit and engineering to installation. Our systems feature zero-export capabilities and optional hybrid backup (Battery Energy Storage Systems + Automatic Transfer Switch), ensuring that your business operates smoothly even during outages and periods of grid instability.

What Is an Industrial Solar PV System?
An industrial solar PV system consists of solar panels, inverters, switchgear, and automation technology, all designed to generate electricity for manufacturing or warehouse operations. There are two main configurations for these systems:
- On-grid (PV-only): This configuration allows for maximum self-consumption of solar energy during the day.
- Hybrid (PV + BESS): This setup provides backup power for critical loads during outages and helps stabilize power quality.
These systems help reduce dependence on the electrical grid, stabilize voltage, and offer predictable energy costs.
Solar PV for Manufacturing and Warehouses
Facilities with daytime energy consumption of around 2,000 to 3,000 kWh can cover up to 70% of their electricity demand during peak hours using solar PV.
Typical Performance:
- A 100 kW solar PV system produces approximately 110 to 125 MWh annually.
- This can lead to a reduction in electricity costs by UAH 600,000 to UAH 800,000 per year.
- With an average tariff of UAH 12.80 per kWh, savings begin in the first month, and the payback period can be as short as 4 to 5 years.
- For larger installations (200 to 300 kW), the annual benefit can exceed UAH 1.5 million. Additionally, solar PV systems have a lifespan of over 25 years with minimal maintenance required.
Solar System Components
Solar Panels
These panels are installed on rooftops, ground structures, or near the warehouse, optimized for tilt to maximize energy generation.
Industrial Inverters (with Zero-Export option)
Our industrial inverters convert DC to AC power and support a zero-export feature, ensuring no backfeed into the grid. We use commercial-grade models tailored to the specific requirements of each site.
Switchgear, Protection & Automation
The system includes surge protection devices (SPD), line protection, an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), and online monitoring capabilities.
Energy Management & Monitoring
Users can track energy generation and consumption, balance loads, and manage operating modes through a user-friendly web interface.
Optional: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
This hybrid backup system supports critical loads and ensures continuity during power outages. It also provides peak shaving and voltage stabilization.

Benefits for Industrial & Logistics Sites
- Up to 70% reduction in electricity bills
- Less exposure to tariff volatility: predictable energy cost share for years
- Zero-export: generation follows consumption with no grid backfeed
- Continuity & backup: hybrid (BESS) keeps critical lines running; ATS switches in seconds
- Better power quality: fewer voltage dips → fewer failures (VFDs, PLCs, servers, cold chain)
- Scalable by design: add 30/50/100+ kW and BESS without stopping operations
- Integrates with existing electrical infrastructure
- Less scrap and downtime: stable energy keeps production rhythm
- ESG & “green” positioning: lower CO₂ footprint, stronger compliance for partners and tenders
