SunCybernetics as a project developer for Mediclinic Gariep Hospital project, approached us to assist them in finding and providing the best solution forthe Mediclinic group. The newly built Mediclinic Hospital in Kimberley requested electricity supply from a renewable source, which could substitute a portion of the power supply from the municipality in order to help them in the day to day operation. Considering the information provided from SunCybernetics, we proposed a mounting structure solution which could be implemented for their project with less impact on the aesthetics and without compromising the performance of the PV Solar Plant. This process of understanding client needs and priorities led us to the point of selecting the best type of mounting solution for their PV Solar system.
Through close work with our client and gaining an understanding of their needs it became clear that the best place for installation of the PV Solar plant would be on top of the Doctors/Staff Car Parking area. Considering all aspects of the potential applications and site specifics, as well as further analysis of the various approaches, we finalised the most valuable and effective solution for the project. The fact that the Car Parking area was already built and its positioning didn’t make provision for PV Solar, didn’t stop us from proposing an alternative solution for our client. In the existing Doctors/Staff Carport parking area we provided a Free Standing Mounting Structure solution which was the most cost effective and with the best possible performance for this particular project.
After appointment by the developer we started the manufacture and supply of the mounting structure for the project and assisted with technical support on site for implementation of Roof Top Mounted Free Standing PV Solar application solution with a total of 85kW/peak installed DC capacity.
VALSA provided full technical support to SunCybernetics during the entire project throughout all stages of installation of the mounting structure solution. A Structural Engineer produced all designs and necessary calculations on the structure for Roof Top Free Standing application on top of existing Carport. All our designs and structural manufacturing were carefully managed to ensure a superior standard of engineering and quality control, as we continually strive to provide high quality standards on our systems to our clients and channel partners.
The result of our solution for the project provided the client with an aesthetic and reliable mounting structure. The newly built PV Solar Plant provides additional generated power for the Hospital and assists with day to day bulding operations. Phase 2 of the project is provisioned for future expansion on the PV Solar Carport following the success of the first initial phase.
All the PV Solar applications required a variety of structural systems to be designed, manufactured, supplied and installed. As a specialist in this niche we understand the need for availability and quality of that component as part of the PV Solar systems. Our focus is to provide quality solutions and support for a variety of structural applications with the full spectrum of innovative and standard applications for our clients and channel partners. Our goal is to provide the best solution to the client based on his needs, site specifics and budget for the project. VALSA will continuously provide support and technical guidance to our clients in the field where our expertise lie.
