Rising costs, environmental urgency and strategic solutions
With energy costs continuing to climb and environmental concerns gaining more and more visibility, conservation efforts and the need for alternative energy systems have taken on a greater urgency in business entities.
One way to generate electricity is by using the energy from the sun. A photovoltaic (PV) power system namely Green Energy System (GES) allows you to achieve this objective. Some advantages of such a system are: a clean, quiet and reliable way of generating electricity, a cost effective alternative to provide power where extending an utility power line is costly, little maintenance required due to no moving parts.
Common uses of Green Energy System (GES) Today includes:
- Battery Charging and Maintaining
- Electric Gate Openers on Remote Fences
- Portable Electrical Systems
- Sign and Billboard Lighting
- Disaster Power Systems and Civil Defense
- Military Target Practice Ranges
- Portable Lighting Systems
- Weather Stations
- Disaster Lighting Systems
- Novelty Lighting Systems
- Security and Parking Lot Lighting
- Street Lighting

The initial stage in selecting an optimum location for Green Energy System is vitally essential. APECUS provides a comprehensive service to study the condition of the sites to ensure full coverage for solar power system to take place. We evaluate our customer’s energy requirement and financial budget in order to develop plans to mitigate risks that can potentially impact the business operations.
Branching out from Site Survey and Feasibilities studies, APECUS‘s team will proceed to develop design of infrastructure. Design includes energy requirement for different sites, product recommendation and other technical considerations.
During this stage, APECUS will make recommendations and procurement of Green Energy equipment. With good relationships established with several equipment providers, we offer quality and price effective products that comply with individual company’s operational and business need.
APECUS project team kickstarts the design plans for Green Energy Solutions to its completion. We manage a group of qualified contractors to ensure the project is carried out in accordance to design, timeline and budget.Upon completion of the project, our customers will receive a complete documented report made for the data center environment.
Before the handover of site to the client, APECUS‘s Testing & Commissioning team will work with our qualified contractors and equipment provider to conduct an overall testing of all equipment and systems installed to ensure quality and smooth operation of the critical infrastructure.
Understanding the vulnerability of the infrastructure and unforeseen human errors, proactive upkeeping of the equipment is a must. Scheduled periodic maintenance programme are formulated in accordance to individual system’s needs to protect you against unforeseen downtime.
Green Energy System (GES)
Over the years, technology advancement in PV power system has enabled a drastic improvement in the efficiency of the system, and substantial cost reduction. There are two main areas of application for PV power system: Off-grid (or standalone) system, and Grid-tied system.
Using these 2 systems, APECUS designs and delivers to you the PV power systems, with high reliability and performance, cost effective that best match your requirements.
Off-grid solar and hybrid power systems are pre-engineered to ensure highly reliable operation in the harshest of environment. It is usually installed at isolated site where the power grid is far away or not available. Custom configurations are available for telecommunications, telemetry, cellular, wireless data, flow monitoring, security lighting, traffic applications and complete village power systems worldwide.
A grid-tied PV system has its own advantages. No requirement for power storage means lower initial setup cost. Excess power generated can be sold back to the public utility supplier. However, care must be taken when connecting to the public utility grid to avoid disturbance to the grid. Grid-tied PV System is more practical, and leads to optimum use of the investment in the photovoltaic system. This requires both regulatory and commercial preparation. A major advantage of a grid tied PV system is redundancy.
The upfront investment of a PV system can be substantial. Hence, getting the right system, from the beginning, for your needs is vital.
PowerHub Mobile Solar Power System (MSS)
The PowerHub Mobile Solar System (MSS) Series solar power generators had been designed to provide clean energy which is suitable for small to medium size applications.
The main features of MSS Series are compactness and mobility. The PV panels can be mounted on the roof or on the ground according to your specific application. The MSS Series are also suitable for outdoor applications. The range of models available are meant to satisfy different energy requirement. The smaller MSS Series solar power generators can be fitted into the luggage compartment of a car, therefore can be easily transported.

The evolution of energy storage in a clean energy future
As clean energy generation becomes more mainstream around the world, its variability and supply fluctuation are beginning to impact the electrical systems for which energy storage is a key factor. Storage can help even out spikes and dips in solar and wind resource availability and therefore enabling energy distribution to be shifted from the time of generation to the time of peak demand.
There is no well-defined threshold level of renewable energy supply needed to ensure non-stop supply but in most cases, grid system operators has begun to invest in storage when 10 percent of their overall supply comes through renewable sources of wind and solar.
Where energy storage transcends innovation, redefining the grid landscape.
Over the past decade, energy storage system vendors and battery manufacturers have dedicated themselves to refining large-scale battery technology. This involves extending the life cycle, enhancing resilience to harsh environments, evolving management systems, and, crucially, consistently reducing costs.
The industry has now reached a pivotal moment, witnessing the increased competitiveness of large storage systems with other grid assets from a business perspective. The technology has demonstrated its efficacy in the markets of North America and Europe, with numerous vendors offering diverse technologies and solutions. Moreover, the infrastructure for installation and operation is already in place. Preliminary assessments reveal a growing number of instances where clean energy is becoming economically viable across various markets. It’s evident that stationary storage has transitioned from a niche solution to a mainstream grid asset
What is included in our energy storage system?
PowerHub Energy Storage System (ESS) has the ability to store harvested solar/wind energy or grid power energy into the integrated battery system to be used during the peak hour where electrical prices are high or as and when needed.
With an ever increasing electrical bills, it makes more financial sense to save cost by storing and generating your own electricity using the intelligent functions of the ESS.
Morning mode:
• If the photo-voltaic power is sufficient in the morning, then the generated energy can be used for self-consumption first.
• If the photo-voltaic power is sufficient in the morning, then the generated energy can be used for self-consumption first.
Afternoon mode:
• When photo-voltaic power is strong at noon, there will be excess generated energy to feed-in to grid after the batteries are fully charged.
• When photo-voltaic power is strong at noon, there will be excess generated energy to feed-in to grid after the batteries are fully charged.
Evening mode:
• The batteries delivers the stored energy to the load after sunset.
• The batteries delivers the stored energy to the load after sunset.
Night mode:
• When the batteries capacity becomes low, then the main utility will supply power to the load.
