CASE STUDIES / MICROGRID CONFIGURATOR
Overview: We ran a real off-grid Saudi construction site through the free PORTA Microgrid Configurator. Result: 78% less diesel, $145K/yr saved, 3.4-year payback — in under 60 seconds.
>Picture a remote construction camp and concrete batching plant two hours from the nearest grid connection. Today it runs on a single 200 kW diesel generator, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Fuel trucks arrive weekly. The noise never stops. This is the reality for thousands of industrial sites across the Kingdom — and it is exactly the kind of load profile our free PORTA Microgrid Configurator was built to analyze.
>We decided to run a representative version of this site through the tool to show what “going hybrid” actually looks like — no sales pitch, just the numbers the configurator returned in under a minute.
>The configurator asks only for what you already know about your site:
>That is the entire input. No engineering degree, no spreadsheet, no waiting on a quotation.
>The tool does not return a single answer. It returns two fully-costed strategies so you can choose what fits your project:
>The Cost-Optimal strategy cuts diesel consumption by 78% while keeping capital outlay modest. The 100% Green strategy eliminates diesel entirely for sites with strict ESG or fuel-logistics constraints — at a longer payback.
Headline result: The Cost-Optimal design saves roughly $145,000 every year in fuel and maintenance, with a payback of about 3.4 years — and the battery and solar cover the full 24-hour load on most days.
>Here is the bottom line the configurator produced for this site:
>These are indicative figures based on the inputs above and real PORTA product pricing. Your site’s numbers will differ — which is exactly why the configurator lets you test your own profile in minutes.
>Three things make the configurator’s output trustworthy rather than a rough estimate:
>It also produces a 24-hour energy-flow simulation, a single-line diagram, and a downloadable PDF technical proposal you can hand straight to a client or finance team.
>The example above is one representative configuration. A mining camp, an island village, an oil-field telemetry site, or a poultry farm will all return different — and often better — economics. The only way to know your number is to run your own.
>The PORTA Microgrid Configurator is completely free, requires no registration for the core calculation, and works for any location worldwide.
>Is the configurator really free? Yes. All sizing, the 24-hour simulation, and the system diagram are instant and free. The branded PDF proposal just asks for an email so our engineers can follow up with a formal quotation.
>How accurate are the numbers? They use real solar resource data, PORTA product datasheets, and field-calibrated diesel models. CAPEX is indicative; final pricing depends on shipping, customs, and site civil works.
>Does it work outside Saudi Arabia? Absolutely. The location lookup covers every city worldwide with hourly weather data — try Dubai, Nairobi, Perth, or Lima.
