    01. The Problem: Power Shortages Are Strangling the Recycling Industry

    In developing countries, vast quantities of scrap metal cannot be melted locally due to electricity constraints.

    The Core Contradiction: Vast quantities of scrap metal cannot be melted locally due to power constraints — the only options are exporting raw materials at low prices or discarding them entirely.

    Three Operating Modes

    Mode 1: Daytime Direct

    Solar PV directly powers the induction furnace — the most efficient mode during strong sunlight hours.

    Mode 2: Battery Discharge

    Battery storage powers the induction furnace for continuous production at night or on cloudy days.

    Mode 3: PV + BESS Parallel

    When solar output drops, the battery supplements the power gap, ensuring uninterrupted melting.

    04. Specifications & Configurations

    Three configurations to match your needs — from pilot validation to full commercial production.

    Pilot Standard Commercial
    Furnace Capacity 50 kg 500 kg 1,000 kg (1 ton)
    Daily Output 200–300 kg 2–3 tons 4–5 tons
    PV Capacity 30–40 kWp 80–100 kWp 150–200 kWp
    Battery Storage 100–150 kWh 250–400 kWh 500–600 kWh
    Control System Basic PLC PLC + EMS Full EMS + Remote
    Footprint ~80 m² ~250 m² ~400 m²
    Installation 3–5 days 5–7 days 7–10 days
    Price (USD) $55,000–75,000 $140,000–180,000 $240,000–280,000

    Note: Prices are estimates; actual pricing adjusts based on specific configurations and local taxes.

    05. 5-Year Total Cost of Ownership Comparison

    Based on a 1-ton commercial system operating in off-grid / weak-grid regions.

    Solution Upfront Cost Annual Opex 5-Year TCO
    Solar-Storage-Furnace $170,000–280,000 $2,000 (maintenance) $180,000–290,000
    Diesel Generator + Furnace $30,000–80,000 $65,000 (fuel) $355,000–405,000
    Grid Power + Furnace $30,000–80,000 $25,000 (electricity) $155,000–205,000

    In off-grid areas, the solar-storage-furnace saves approximately $100,000+ over diesel in 5 years.

    Even against grid power (where available and stable), it remains competitive — with zero fuel risk and full energy independence.

    "The diesel money you save pays back your investment in 2 years. The next 3 years — pure profit."

    06. Core Advantages

    Six advantages that redefine scrap metal recycling in developing markets.

    💰 Cost Revolution

    10. Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: What happens during extended cloudy or rainy periods?

    Battery storage supports 1–2 full production days. For extended autonomy, additional battery capacity or a small diesel generator as emergency backup (<5% annual utilization) can be optionally configured.

    Q: What is the equipment lifespan?

    PV modules: 25+ years (~0.5% annual degradation). LFP batteries: 6,000–8,000 cycles (~8–12 years). Induction furnace body: 15–20 years.

    Q: How many workers are needed?

    Fully automated PLC+HMI touchscreen control. Small systems (50 kg–500 kg) require only 1–2 operators. One week of training is sufficient.

    Q: What about after-sales support?

    Remote fault diagnosis included. Express spare parts delivery with remote guidance for replacement. On-site engineer deployment available for large-scale projects.

    Q: What are the payment terms?

    Standard: 30% advance + 40% pre-shipment + 30% after acceptance (or Letter of Credit). Export credit financing through Sinosure / China Exim Bank also available.
