Description
Tender description:
There is a requirement in UNOPS, SAMCO office located in Colombo, Sri Lanka i.e.to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply during the prevailing power cuts in the country. Therefore, to improve the reliability of power supply, it was decided to install an off grid solar system with a battery backup which can be used as the primary source of energy. At present, There is already a 15kW ongrid solar system installed at the property with an inverter with a capacity of 15kW. The system is about 10 years old and working without any issue. Therefore, the proposed system is an upgrading of the existing system i.e. converting to an offgrid system by introducing a hybrid inverter, battery backup system and coupling with the existing diesel generator. The system should work by giving priority to solar energy,battery power and generators.
