Meadowbrook Business Park is a compact commercial business park in Johannesburg serving a range of small-to-medium businesses. The park's consistent daytime occupancy creates a reliable electricity demand profile well-suited to solar generation.
Operating on a low-voltage time-of-use (LV-TOU) tariff, the property benefits from solar displacement during peak tariff periods. The 53 kWp system is appropriately sized to maximise the offset against the park's daytime consumption.
The installation provides meaningful and measurable electricity cost reductions for the property owner while contributing to a reduced carbon footprint across the business park.
