THE DIESEL TRAP
DIESEL IS DRAINING
YOUR EXPLORATION BUDGET
On a remote site, the diesel bill is only the start. Fuel deliveries, servicing and overnight running all add to the cost of keeping your programme moving.
FUEL LOGISTICS
Long delivery routes, storage and refuelling take time and money.
NOISE & FUMES
A quieter camp makes a better place to work and rest.
LOW-LOAD RUNNING
Small overnight loads can keep an oversized generator running for hours.
DIESEL EMISSIONS
Reducing fuel use helps bring operational emissions down.
POWER QUALITY
Motor starts and changing loads need a system designed to handle them.
MAINTENANCE & DOWNTIME
Every generator hour brings the next service closer.
THE CINERGY WAY
SMART POWER
LESS DIESEL
Solar powers the day. Batteries carry energy into the night. Your generator provides backup when demand or weather calls for it.
SOLAR FIRST
We size the solar array and battery around what your site uses, and when
KEEP YOUR GENERATOR
A compatible generator can provide automatic backup. We check integration before deployment.
BUILT AROUND YOUR LOADS
Pumps, welders and sensitive electronics each have different needs. We design for the full load profile.
TEMPORARY BY DESIGN
Modular equipment can be removed or redeployed as your project changes.
SUPPORT FROM CAPE TOWN
Remote monitoring and site-person training keep your team connected to ours.
ROOM TO GROW
Add capacity or change the system as your camp or plant develops.
APPLICATIONS
POWER, WHERE THE ORE IS
Built around the loads we actually see on early-stage sites. Tell us yours and we will size to it.
EXPLORATION CAMPS
Power accommodation, kitchens, refrigeration, lighting and communications. Size the battery for quieter overnight operation.
1
CAMP & DRILLING SUPPORT
OFFICES, LABS & COMMS
Stable power for site offices, core sheds and sensitive equipment, with backup designed around critical loads.
4
SITE SERVICES
DEWATERING & PUMPING
Match solar generation to daytime pumping. We check motor starts, duty cycles and backup requirements.
2
PUMPS & WATER TRANSFER
PILOT PLANTS & SAMPLING
Build a hybrid supply around your pilot plant’s load schedule, equipment starts and shift pattern.
5
EARLY STAGE PROCESSING
WORKSHOPS & WELDING
Supply intermittent workshop loads with a system sized for their peaks and starting demands.
3
MAINTENANCE & FABRICATION
GENERATOR HYBRIDISATION
Start with a battery. Store energy from a compatible generator, then use it to reduce low-load running.

BATTERY & EXISTING DIESEL
ZAMBIA · DESIGN STUDY
A SMALLER DIESEL BILL.
A CLEAR PLAN TO GET YOU THERE.
A phase-one camp with two plant pumps, a workshop, offices, refrigeration and lighting. The brief was simple: run on sunshine, keep the client's 40 kVA generator as back-up, and get there in a hurry.
-
One CineSprint EX 55/135 battery with a 60 kWp CineRay array
-
Site load of about 175 kWh a day, solar yield forecast at 220 to 320 kWh a day
-
Generator wired in on auto-start for a wet week, expected to burn under 1,500 litres a year
-
Deployment and cross-border arrangements planned around site readiness and import requirements
Figures are from the Cinergy design study for the site, based on the client's load schedule and 18 years of satellite irradiance data for the location. These are modelled outcomes, not measured operating results. Actual savings depend on load, weather and operation.

HOW IT WORKS
DEPLOY. POWER. REMOVE.
Tell us what you need to power, where it is and how long you need it. We take it from there.
WE DESIGN TO YOUR LOAD
Send us your load schedule and site coordinates. We simulate a full year against satellite irradiance data and size the array, battery and generator back-up to it. You get the diesel and cost comparison before you commit.
01
WE DELIVER & COMMISSION
Battery in a container, solar on trays, distribution and cabling on the same load. Our crew installs, commissions and trains your nominated site person. Cross-border on temporary import where the destination allows.
02
YOU MINE- WE MONITOR
We watch the system from Cape Town and report generation, consumption and diesel avoided every month. When the phase ends, we scale up, redeploy to the next site, or take it all home.

YOUR TEAM
WE'RE ABE & BRAD
NICE TO MEET YOU
ABE & BRAD
Founders. Cinergy
We started Cinergy powering film sets and events: demanding loads, remote locations and teams that need to get on with the job. Now we bring that same practical approach to mining and exploration.
Our batteries are built to our own specification for the loads and the conditions that remote sites throw at them.
LET'S PUT SUNSHINE TO WORK ON YOUR NEXT PHASE.

LET'S SIZE A SYSTEM FOR YOUR SITE
