Site 15 is a farm specialising in cold storage, primarily storing seed potatoes for themselves and various farmers. While the farm itself focuses on potato cultivation, its solar-powered cold storage facilities play a crucial role in preserving seed potatoes for both its own supply chain and other agricultural businesses.
Reflecting on his experience with Enfin, the client shares:
“The service I received has been excellent. At first, we faced some challenges with sizing, but Enfin has been a Godsend in terms of reliability.”
Before switching to solar, the farm relied on Eskom and generator power. Today, it operates completely off-grid, with a solar and battery system ensuring uninterrupted energy supply. The client has been so satisfied with the results that he confidently recommends Enfin.
Phase 1: The initial off-grid solar system, commissioned in December 2022, was designed to power the farm’s cold rooms and business operations.
Phase 2: With growing energy demands, an expansion was planned in the spring of 2023. By January 2024, a second dedicated system was installed and commissioned to support the cooling warehouse, increasing overall capacity by approximately 30%.
Enfin’s involvement has had a significant impact on the farm’s operations. The client expresses deep appreciation for Enfin’s support, emphasising the reliability and efficiency the solar installation has brought to his business.
