The Challenge
Kunduchi Wet ‘N’ Wild Water Park required a large-scale, stable, and cost-efficient power solution to support its full operations.
The facility has high and continuous energy demand from:
- Water park operations
- Pumping systems
- Guest facilities
- Entertainment infrastructure
Relying solely on conventional grid power created challenges related to operational costs and energy stability, especially during peak usage periods.
A high-capacity commercial solar solution was needed to improve efficiency and reduce long-term electricity expenses.
The Solution
The Kunduchi grid-tied solar system was designed to deliver high-output renewable energy directly into the facility’s operations while remaining connected to the main grid.
The system ensures optimized energy generation, real-time monitoring, and efficient distribution across the entire water park.
System components:
- Solar array: 200.91 kWp (362 × JA Solar MBB half-cell monocrystalline PV module– 555 W)
- Grid-tied inverter: 2 × Fronius Tauro Eco 100.0-3-P (100kW) WLAN/LAN – 3P grid tie / PV inverter
- Smart meter: 3 × Fronius TS 50kA-3 smart meter
- Current transformers: 6 × smart meter CT A 200A
- DC combiner box: 6 × Suntree SHLX-PV6/2 DC 6 way 2 outputs (1000V 20A fuse 63A disconnect)
- Remote monitoring: Fronius Solar.web system
