A pharmacy may close for the day while its refrigeration continues running. This Montego Bay project includes medical refrigeration alongside lights, a printer, fans, television and air conditioning, so the electricity arrangement needs to extend beyond opening hours.

We installed solar and gel battery storage over nine days, completing the work on November 25, 2025. Photographs show an extensive outdoor array, cabinet equipment indoors and batteries arranged on several levels of shelving.

Daytime business and refrigeration after closing

Lighting, printing and cooling during opening hours can overlap with solar generation. Electricity can serve equipment in use and charge batteries when there is a surplus. Refrigeration follows a different schedule: goods that require controlled storage may still need cooling after staff have closed the pharmacy.

Storage therefore has a purpose beyond the working day. Refrigeration and necessary lighting can be prioritised when planning backup, with other equipment considered against business needs and the remaining energy. Backup electricity supports refrigeration equipment, while temperature monitoring and operating records are still needed to establish suitable storage conditions.

Space for the array and the battery installation

The project uses seventy eight 600W panels, a 46.8kWp array, a 50kW three phase inverter and sixty gel batteries. In the outdoor photographs, panels are raised on metal framing near roads, vehicles and shopfronts. Vegetation and low structures are visible beneath parts of the framing. The array occupies this raised space among the area's existing buildings and ground-level features.

Indoors, battery racks run along a narrow space, with people standing between the racks and cabinet equipment. This gives the battery quantity a physical scale: storage needs room for the equipment and access for inspection and maintenance.

The outdoor array and indoor installation work together to serve business appliances and goods that still need refrigeration after closing. Three phase equipment must match the building's distribution and the starting demands of refrigeration and cooling equipment. Battery runtime cannot be established from a count of sixty units alone; full battery specifications and actual consumption are needed.
