New Concept Mining 1,288MWP Solar PV
Energy-intensive industries need power solutions that are reliable, scalable, and cost-effective. The New Concept Mining 1,288 MWP solar photovoltaic (PV) commercial rooftop installation is a flagship example of how a well-designed PV solar system can significantly reduce grid dependence while delivering long-term operational savings.
Designed and implemented by MetSolar, this grid-tied supplementary solution enables New Concept Mining to harness clean solar energy directly from its rooftop, turning unused space into a powerful energy asset.
Project Overview
- Client: New Concept Mining
- Installation Type: Commercial rooftop
- System Type: Grid-tied supplementary
- Installed Capacity: 1,288 MWP solar PV
- Number of Panels: 2,802
- Solar Panels: Jinko Solar 460W
- Inverters: 11 × 100 kW Huawei Inverters and 1 × 36 kW Inverter
This PV solar system is engineered to supplement grid power during daylight hours, reducing electricity costs and easing pressure on the national grid.
How the PV Solar System Works
- Daytime Generation: The 2,802 Jinko Solar panels generate clean electricity from sunlight, feeding power directly into New Concept Mining’s operations.
- Grid Synchronisation: As a grid-tied supplementary system, solar energy is consumed first, with the grid automatically supplying any shortfall.
- High-Efficiency Conversion: Huawei inverters convert DC power into usable AC power with excellent efficiency and reliability.
This seamless integration ensures uninterrupted operations while maximising solar utilisation.
Why a PV Solar System Makes Sense for Commercial and Mining Operations
- Reduce Energy Costs: A large-scale PV solar system significantly lowers daytime grid consumption, protecting businesses from rising electricity tariffs.
- Optimise Existing Infrastructure: Rooftop solar makes productive use of existing structures; no additional land required.
- Improve Energy Predictability: By generating power on site, businesses gain greater control over a portion of their energy supply.
- Support Sustainability Goals: Solar PV reduces carbon emissions and helps organisations meet ESG and environmental compliance objectives.

FAQs: PV Solar System
What is a PV solar system?
A PV solar system converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic panels. In commercial settings, it typically supplies power directly to operations, reducing grid usage.
What does grid-tied supplementary mean?
A grid-tied supplementary PV solar system works alongside the grid. Solar power is used first, and the grid supplies additional power when needed.
Why is rooftop solar ideal for commercial buildings?
Rooftop solar uses existing space, avoids land costs, and places generation close to consumption, improving efficiency and reducing losses.
How much maintenance does a PV solar system require?
Commercial PV solar systems require minimal maintenance, usually periodic inspections and cleaning to ensure optimal performance.
Can the PV solar system be expanded in future?
Yes. Grid-tied PV solar systems are modular and can often be expanded as energy demand grows, subject to structural and electrical capacity.
Is a PV solar system suitable for mining operations?
Absolutely. Mining operations benefit from reduced daytime energy costs, improved sustainability, and long-term energy stability.
