OBJECTIVES

Hyco Fire Systems set out to tackle rising power bills and take greater control of their energy usage—while reinforcing their commitment to sustainability. With energy-intensive production processes and tight operational schedules, they required a reliable solar solution that wouldn’t disrupt daily activities. Their decision to invest in a Commercial Solar System Installation in NSW was not solely driven by cost savings—it was also a powerful statement of their values, showcasing their dedication to environmental responsibility and leading by example in their industry.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

Project Size: 96.25 kWp
Panel Type: 168 X JA 590W (JAM72D40-590/MB) Panels
Inverter Type: 1 x Sungrow 110kW 3-Phase Inverter (SG110CX-P2)

SOLUTION

When Hyco Fire Systems set out to reduce energy costs and enhance sustainability, AYKA Solar provided a tailor-made solution. We designed and delivered a 96.25 kW Commercial Solar System Installation in NSW, precisely aligned with their high daytime energy demands—allowing them to harness solar power when it’s needed most.

The system features premium solar panels and an advanced inverter setup, ensuring steady, reliable power throughout the workday. With real-time monitoring capabilities, the Hyco team can now track energy production and savings instantly from any device.

To ensure a smooth transition, we coordinated closely with Hyco’s team, planning the installation around their packed schedule to avoid any disruption to their manufacturing or testing operations. As a result, they’re not just saving on power bills—they’ve made a strong commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future.

“Implementing solar energy was a natural fit for us—not just for cost savings but to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability in our industry.”

CHALLENGES

Due to the system’s size and the complexity of the roof layout, precise engineering and thorough planning were essential for a successful outcome. The Commercial Solar System Installation in NSW also had to integrate flawlessly into Hyco Fire Systems’ energy-intensive manufacturing operations—without causing any downtime.

The AYKA Solar team took the time to fully understand the site’s requirements, carefully scheduled work around the company’s busy hours, and strictly adhered to all safety protocols. The result is a robust and reliable solar system that integrates seamlessly and keeps operations running smoothly, day after day.
