Background

Mr. Tariq Rafi, a retired Chief Engineer from KDA, was facing consistently high electricity bills due to increasing energy consumption at his residence. With a strong technical background, he sought a reliable and long-term solution that could ensure both efficiency and sustainability.

Through Mr. Quresh Hakim, a trusted acquaintance and member of Sustainable Energies Enterprise (SEE), Mr. Rafi was introduced to the company. After a detailed site assessment and consultation, he was convinced by SEE’s transparent approach, technical expertise, and commitment to quality service.

Consultation & Guidance

During the consultation phase, the SEE team conducted a detailed load analysis and site evaluation to recommend the most suitable solar configuration for Mr. Rafi’s energy requirements. The 15 kW gridtied solar system was proposed as the ideal solution to offset his high utility costs while ensuring stable power generation and efficient integration with his home’s existing electrical infrastructure.

Mr. Rafi appreciated the team’s straightforward guidance and focus on technical accuracy rather than unnecessary system upsizing, a testament to SEE’s customer-first approach.

System Design & Installation & Net Metering

The system was installed on an elevated C-channel garde structure designed for maximum sunlight exposure and easy maintenance. A movable ladder was also incorporated for convenient access to panels for cleaning and inspection.

The installation featured a 15 kW Sungrow inverter integrated with net metering, allowing Mr. Rafi to export excess energy to the grid and further reduce his electricity expenses.

Since commissioning, the system has been efficiently generating power with stable performance. The digital monitoring service enables both SEE and the client to stay informed about system performance in real-time. In case of any irregularities, SEE’s monitoring team promptly alerts the client, ensuring proactive service and uninterrupted operation.

Experience

Mr. Rafi commended the SEE team for their professionalism and attention to detail throughout the project. He highlighted the company’s responsive after-sales service and continuous monitoring support, which have made managing the system completely hassle-free.

Over the years, SEE has maintained regular communication and provided updates whenever required reinforcing trust and long-term satisfaction..

Result

Even after more than four years of operation, the system continues to deliver strong and consistent performance. Mr. Rafi has experienced significant reductions in his electricity bills and values the convenience of the automated monitoring system.

The project stands as a successful example of SEE’s technical expertise, engineering precision, and commitment to long-term client satisfaction.
