Baking with the Sun: Proton Bakers Switches to 1 MVA Solar

A major milestone for Marondera and Zimbabwe as one of the country's leading bakeries embraces a greener, more stable energy future.

The 1 MVA Revolution: How Proton Bakers is Redefining Industrial Energy in Zimbabwe

Harnessing Industrial Power

Proton Bakers has officially commissioned its massive 1 MVA solar energy system. Installed by Solar Energy Projects, this installation represents a significant shift in how large-scale manufacturing in Zimbabwe handles energy security.

1 MVA Capacity
100% Operational

For a bakery, where ovens must run consistently to maintain product quality, this system provides a crucial buffer against grid instability, ensuring that the production of our daily bread remains uninterrupted.

Perhaps the most impactful feature of this project is its integration with the ZETDC Net-Metering program. Proton Bakers is no longer just an energy consumer; they have become a "prosumer."

During peak sunlight hours, when the 1,788 panels generate more power than the bakery requires, the excess electricity is fed back into the national grid.

This initiative directly supports Zimbabwe’s national power supply, providing clean, renewable energy to other homes and businesses while reducing Proton’s overall electricity costs through credits.

By switching to solar, Proton Bakers is significantly reducing its carbon footprint. This move aligns with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, making the brand a leader in sustainable manufacturing in Africa.

Operational stability is the second major win. Solar energy ensures that sensitive machinery is protected from sudden power surges and outages, extending the lifespan of industrial equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

Inspired to Switch?

Proton Bakers has set the standard. As the industrial sector moves toward renewables, Sona Solar Zimbabwe remains at the forefront of this transition. Whether you are a small business or a large-scale factory, the path to energy independence starts with the right partner.

Sona Solar Zimbabwe specializes in helping companies design systems that qualify for net-metering, ensuring your investment pays for itself while helping power the nation.
