DADO Manufacturing

Manufacturing Needs Energy Solutions That Work — Not Sales Pitches

Manufacturing businesses need reliable, practical solutions from partners who understand production environments. DADO Manufacturing had been approached by multiple solar companies — each promising the world. They needed an installer who would be realistic about what solar could deliver and execute to a high standard.

Specific pain points:

• Previous solar quotes lacked realistic projections
• Need for a partner who understood manufacturing operations
• Quality concerns after seeing substandard installations elsewhere
• Required a system that wouldn't compromise production uptime during installation

Honest Assessment, Quality Execution

Gentricity took a different approach — starting with realistic expectations and delivering beyond them:

What set the approach apart:

• Honest assessment of what solar could and couldn't achieve for the facility
• System sized conservatively to ensure projections would be met or exceeded
• Installation planned around production schedule to minimise disruption
• Quality components specified with focus on long-term reliability over lowest cost

System design highlights:

• Panel array sized to match manufacturing daytime load profile
• Inverter system with monitoring for production-aligned tracking
• Mounting system engineered for the specific roof structure
• All work to SANS 10142 and NRS 097 compliance standards

Results (Estimated based on system specifications and industry benchmarks)

What This Project Demonstrates

For manufacturing businesses:

• Realistic projections matter more than optimistic sales pitches
• Installation quality varies significantly between providers — check references
• Manufacturing schedules can be accommodated with proper planning
• An owner-operated company provides accountability that larger firms often can't
