BMW Solar Install by Genset & Solar

The FoxESS BMW solar install by Genset & Solar wasn’t just another project — it was a response to a high-stakes business challenge. BMW’s site was losing nearly R150 000 per day during power outages. For a premium automotive brand, that level of disruption wasn’t sustainable.

Alain, founder of Genset & Solar and a seasoned installer with over 1,150 successful projects since 2008, stepped in with a fast, scalable, and reliable hybrid solution powered by FoxESS. The goal: eliminate downtime, reduce reliance on the grid, and install a system that would quietly deliver ROI without interrupting day-to-day operations.

Hybrid System Specs: Powering Through With FoxESS

To meet BMW’s commercial energy demands, the team deployed a fully integrated hybrid setup:

⚙️ 2 × 30 kW FoxESS Hybrid Inverters (60 kW total)
🔋 8 × Fox EP-10 Batteries (~80 kWh usable storage)
☀️ 90 kWh peak-hour solar array

The solution was engineered to cover essential loads, manage peak-time consumption, and operate independently when needed. Built for uptime, trusted by top-tier commercial brands. Since commissioning, BMW has had zero unplanned downtime — and the system is projected to pay for itself within a year.

Partnership Power: Service That Stays the Course

What truly sets this install apart is the ongoing support. “Fox is absolutely amazing, and the service is excellent,” Alain said. Backed by MSPD Africa, the trusted distributor of FoxESS inverters and batteries across Southern Africa, Genset & Solar had everything they needed — fast logistics, expert advice, and a product that simply works.

With three more branches already in line for similar systems, this FoxESS BMW solar install is just the beginning of a wider rollout of clean, resilient energy for high-performance clients. This system delivers silent, seamless power every day.
