As Myanmar’s manufacturing and rice milling sectors seek to reduce rising energy costs and transition to greener energy sources, renewable energy company GoodWe has successfully deployed a solar-plus-storage system at the Aung Khit Mhi Rice Mill in Myaungmya, Ayeyarwady Region.
The installation features three 50 kW hybrid inverters and three 112 kWh battery storage units, providing a stable and reliable power supply while lowering operating costs. The system is designed to handle the high energy demand of rice milling operations and can switch between grid and battery power in less than 10 milliseconds, helping prevent production disruptions during power outages.
Since adopting the solar and battery solution, the rice mill has reduced its energy expenses by more than 60 per cent. The project is also expected to save about 210,000 units of electricity annually and cut carbon emissions by over 1,000 tonnes each year.
GoodWe’s Myanmar Country Manager, Henry, said the company remains committed to supporting the wider adoption of solar energy and energy storage solutions across Myanmar, helping businesses improve efficiency and move towards a more sustainable future.
