Rubikon specializes in designing and installing turnkey solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, with optional battery energy storage (BESS), specifically for transport hubs, sports facilities, and public infrastructure. Our focus is on maximizing self-consumption, achieving zero-export, ensuring stable power quality, and providing backup for critical systems, so your facility can remain operational without relying on noisy generators.

Who this is for
Transport Hubs
- Bus stations and intercity terminals
- Depots and terminal infrastructure
- Buildings with ticketing, platforms, exterior lighting and parking areas
Sports Facilities
- Pools and aquatic centers
- Stadiums and arenas
- Fitness clubs and sports complexes
Public & Municipal Facilities
- Administrative and community buildings
- Facilities with 24/7 safety requirements
- Public buildings sensitive to outages and voltage instability
What Problems We Solve
- Power outages disrupting public services
- Failure of critical systems: ticketing, displays, announcements, pumps, ventilation, IT
- Voltage instability damaging electronics and control systems
- Peak loads increasing electricity bills
- Rising and unpredictable tariffs
- Dependence on generators, fuel logistics and maintenance
Solutions by Facility Type
Transport Hubs (Bus Stations, Terminals, Depots)
These facilities are designed to ensure that ticketing systems, schedule displays, announcements, CCTV, and exterior lighting remain operational during power outages.
Typical Setup
Rooftop or facade-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels combined with a 3-phase inverter, zero-export capabilities, and a battery energy storage system (BESS) dedicated to critical lines.
Sports Facilities (Pools, Stadiums, Gyms)
These facilities are optimized to manage high daytime energy loads from heating, pumps, ventilation, and lighting systems.
Typical Setup
PV systems sized to meet peak usage, along with BESS backup for essential operations.
Public & Municipal Buildings
These installations prioritize reliability, safety, and predictable energy costs.
Typical Setup
Either PV-only systems for cost savings or hybrid systems that combine PV with BESS to prevent downtime.
PV-only vs. Hybrid (PV + Battery Energy Storage System)
PV-only (On-Grid)
- Ideal for areas where outages are infrequent
- Maximizes savings through daytime energy generation
- Lower initial investment required
Hybrid (PV + Battery Storage)
- Maintains critical services during power outages
- Allows for peak shaving and load prioritization
- Protects sensitive electronics from power fluctuations
- Reduces reliance on backup generators
What Can Be Run On Backup Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
- Transport hubs
- Ticketing and payment systems
- Display and announcement systems
- CCTV, access control, and emergency lighting
- Networking and dispatch systems
- Sports facilities
- Emergency lighting and security
- Pumps and filtration systems (priority lines)
- Ventilation and control systems
- IT and administration services
- Public buildings
- Emergency lighting and safety systems
- IT, communications, and networking services
- Selected essential circuits
Note: The backup duration is dependent on the capacity of the BESS and the prioritization of loads.

FAQ
Yes, we create selective backup scenarios for priority circuits.
Yes, we phase the work to avoid any downtime.
No, photovoltaic (PV) systems can often work independently where outages are rare. However, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are recommended in locations where downtime impacts safety or service.
We integrate our systems into roofs, façades, and carports to maintain the building’s architectural integrity.
