NewFields
SolGas Solar Farm.
Solar farm grid integration and protection upgrades in Zimbabwe’s northern region.
The Challenge
Remote site support
Site location required reliable long-distance communication and monitoring.
Grid instability
Required robust protection coordination due to weak regional grid.
Interfacing with solar inverters
System needed clean coordination between inverters and utility systems.
The Solution
Engineered protection schemes that withstand grid instability and variable load.
Deployed remote monitoring and diagnostics capabilities.
Interfaced inverters with MV equipment and grid control protocols.
