SOLAR FOR PETROL PUMP

Virgin Solar has developed solar power solutions for warehouses and Petrol Pumps to provide continuous supply of power for smooth operations in cost effective manner. We can also provide hybrid system where solar power solution will be used as primary source of power and and D.G./Grid would be used as back-up to the solar power solution.

Most petrol pumps require to be run on a 24x7 basis thereby requiring an intelligent power management system. Alternate power sources like diesel generators have a higher switchover time and the dispenser pump shuts down almost instantly. Sudden power failure leads to loss of fuel, time and money of both the customer and the petrol pump owner. Diesel Generator sets are used as an alternative to electricity from the grid in these areas. However, this proves to be very expensive as the fuel and maintenance cost of diesel generator sets is very high.

Virgin solar power solution serves as an excellent solution for Petrol Pumps level electrification due to extremely remote location of petrol Pumps where grid electricity is available for few hours or not available at all. We install solar power panels to provide enough power that helps in efficiently operating fuel guns and office equipment. These panels support multiple fuel gun operation and switch automatically and spontaneously between the grids causing no harm to client. It is more advantageous than diesel generator. Use of solar energy in petrol pumps has proven to offer reliable operations of dispensing units even in load shedding hours. The dispensing units last long as the solar system provides superior power quality.

These Systems can also be provided with remote monitoring features as most of the Petrol pumps are at very remote locations. Even the dispensing units last long as the solar system provides superior power quality.

These systems generate and store electricity for operating electrical equipment such as Fuel dispensing Units, Canopy Lights, Yard lights, Office lights and fans, Air filling machine etc during day as well as during night time. These solar solutions are robustly constructed and provide good electricity without voltage fluctuation.

We even have special systems for petrol Pumps which already have installed Inverters and batteries. We can club these Inverter and batteries with our solar Panels and other electronics to generate power, this kind of combination reduces the cost of the solar power plant as the Inverter and batteries are already present. Solar power if used with LED lighting on Petrol pumps shows fantastic results as these lights use less power and hence lesser investment on Solar.
