Project Details
Rubis Petrol Station in Muguga operates 24 hours a day, powering fuel pumps, a carwash, air-pressure compressors, lighting, and other critical systems. The client faced two major challenges: frequent blackouts and continuously rising electricity bills due to heavy reliance on KPLC. These interruptions also affected customer service and business operations during outages. To eliminate these constraints, ALKIM Green Galaxy installed a powerful 12.98kWp solar energy system, supported by a 24kW AC three-phase inverter setup and a high-capacity battery bank for full-time reliability.

Project Summary
Because the petrol station runs round-the-clock, power reliability is critical. Frequent blackouts and high energy consumption from pumps, compressors, lighting, and carwash equipment caused high operational losses. The owner needed a dependable energy solution that could:
End reliance on unstable grid supply.
Cut down expensive monthly electricity bills.
Provide backup power during outages.
Protect business continuity and operations.
ALKIM Green Galaxy designed a high-capacity hybrid solar solution that produces clean solar energy during the day and stores excess in lithium batteries for night operations and emergency backup.
Overview
Our engineering team executed the project with precision, installing solar modules on available roof structures and integrating the three-phase hybrid inverter system with the existing electrical infrastructure. The system intelligently prioritizes solar power, with automatic switchover to batteries during grid failures.
With the powerful 40.96kWh battery bank, the petrol station now remains operational even during long blackouts, ensuring uninterrupted services such as:
Fuel pumping
Pressure air machines
Carwash equipment
Security lighting and CCTV
Office operations and point-of-sale systems
Results & Benefits
Eliminated Blackouts – Continuous power supply ensures customers are served even when the national grid fails.Reduced Electricity Bills – Solar now offsets a large portion of the station’s energy consumption, lowering operational expenses.
Business Continuity – No losses or customer disruptions during outages – operations remain fully active day and night.
High Efficiency & Smart Energy Management – The system optimizes solar, battery, and grid power to deliver maximum savings and reliability.
Sustainability – Cleaner, renewable energy reduces carbon footprint and supports modern eco-friendly operations.
Client Testimonial
Before going solar, we experienced frequent blackouts that disrupted fuel pumping, carwash operations, and basic services. It affected customers, especially at night, and our electricity bills kept rising. Since ALKIM Green Galaxy installed the new solar and battery system, we no longer worry about outages. Operations run smoothly 24/7, and our monthly power costs have gone down significantly. The system has been reliable, efficient and a great investment for the station. We highly recommend ALKIM Green Galaxy to any business looking for energy independence and cost savings.
