Sona Solar Zimbabwe’s 30kVA Solution: The Secret Behind Pronto Meats’ Uninterrupted Freshness

At Wessex, we believe that energy independence is the key to unlocking true potential, especially for businesses where a consistent power supply is non-negotiable. 


Nowhere is this more critical than in the food industry. We are proud to present an in-depth case study on a recent landmark project involving Pronto Meats Butchery in Zengeza, Chitungwiza, and the expert installers at Sona Solar Zimbabwe.

This project, featuring a state-of-the-art 30kVA Solar System, explores their state-of-the-art solar solution and demonstrates why a solar-powered butchery is not just a smart choice, but an essential investment for success in today's climate.

The Challenge: The Critical Need for Uninterrupted Power in a Butchery

For a butchery like Pronto Meats, whose brand reputation is built on providing the freshest, highest-quality meat, the threat of load shedding is a constant and significant business risk.

An inconsistent power supply can lead to:
  • Broken Cold Chains: Compromising the safety and quality of perishable stock.
  • Financial Losses: Due to spoiled inventory and the high cost of running diesel generators.
  • Operational Disruptions: Inability to serve customers, process payments, or run essential equipment.
  • Erosion of Customer Trust: Customers need to be 100% confident in the freshness of the products they purchase.

Pronto Meats understood that to truly be one of the best butcheries in Chitungwiza, they needed a permanent power solution. The question for them, as it is for many in the industry, was why solar is the prime cut for a butchery. The answer lies in reliability, cost-savings, and sustainability.

The Solution: Sona Solar Zimbabwe's Tailored Commercial System

Leading providers like Sona Solar Zimbabwe don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. For Pronto Meats, this meant a deep dive into their specific energy demands.

Their expert team conducted a thorough energy audit, analyzing the power consumption of their heavy-duty cold rooms, freezers, lighting, and processing equipment. Based on this, they designed what can be considered the best solar system for a commercial operation of this scale. Their comprehensive solar systems for commercial butcheries are engineered for resilience and performance.

The heart of the Pronto Meats installation is their powerful 30kVA solar system, which includes:

  • A High-Capacity 30kVA Hybrid Inverter: This robust unit serves as the command center, capable of handling the significant and simultaneous power demands of all the butchery's critical loads.
  • An Extensive Solar Panel Array: A large installation of high-efficiency solar panels to generate maximum power throughout the day, ensuring the business runs on clean, free energy.
  • A Resilient Lithium Battery Bank: Providing substantial energy storage to keep the entire operation running smoothly through the night and during overcast days, guaranteeing 24/7 power and true energy independence.

The Tangible ROI: Immediate and Long-Term Benefits

The news that Pronto Butchery in Chitungwiza is now powered by a 30kVA solar system is a testament to the real-world benefits of a professional solar installation. For any business that adopts a similar system, the advantages are clear:

  • Reduced Electricity Bills by up to 70%: A massive operational saving that directly impacts profitability.
  • Power for Non-Essential Items: With excess power from solar panels during the day, businesses can power other utilities like a borehole, pumps, or other equipment at no extra cost.
  • Elimination of Load Shedding: This guarantees business continuity and eliminates the stress and cost of generator dependency.

This means that for customers, Pronto Meats can always deliver on their promise of a fresh cut powered by the sun, reinforcing their brand's commitment to quality.

The Importance of Quality and Warranties

A key indicator of a quality installer is their confidence in their products, reflected in their warranties. Sona Solar Zimbabwe, for example, provides industry-leading warranties for their installations:

  • 3 Year Workmanship Warranty on the installation.
  • 10 Year Warranty on Battery and Inverter.
  • 30 Year Warranty on Solar Panels.

This long-term protection is a critical factor for any business considering a solar investment.

Conclusion: A Case Study in Smart Business

The successful installation at Pronto Meats is a powerful case study in the transformative impact of strategic solar investment. It demonstrates how a forward-thinking business, partnered with an expert installer like Sona Solar Zimbabwe, can lead the way in quality and sustainability.

For businesses or homeowners considering a move to solar, this project serves as a clear benchmark for what to expect from a high-quality, professional installation. Reliable power is not just a convenience; it's a strategic advantage.
