Emergency and backup power are fundamental to the operation of critical systems and facilities used in business and manufacturing. Without a reliable infrastructure, small changes in power or a loss thereof can lead to downtime and decreases in productivity. The knock-on effect of this can also be detrimental to other parts of your company’s operations.

Alternate power solutions are a must-have if your organisation requires 100% uptime and peace of mind that your operations will continue to run during outages or load shedding.

Daisy Energy provides a full range of turn-key backup power generator solutions that can be custom-built and tailored to suit the requirements of every customer’s needs. From sizing and design to assistance in securing finance, we will provide a solution to ensure you are never without power.

### Generator applications

Most manufacturing or commercial facility uses one or more emergency generators as the primary means of backup power. In a normal setup, backup generators connect to the electrical system using transfer switches or a switchgear application. These systems monitor the incoming main power supply.

When the power supply reduces or is switched off the generator starts automatically and restores power to the system.

Daisy Energy has a multitude of contracted generator manufacturers that allow us to spec any generator to your specification. We supply generators starting from 15 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are commercial generators?

A standby commercial generator ensures that your business continues to have power on during a power outage. They are generally installed outside your business and switch on automatically as soon as a loss in power is detected.

How do I calculate what size generator I need?

Add the running wattage x 3 to the starting wattage for the total wattage your operation needs to operate. Written out formulaically it's (Running wattage x 3) + running wattage = Total wattage needed.

What is a 3 phase generator?

3-phase generators provide their power through three sequenced currents running simultaneously. These currents require a stronger underlying voltage, but it also means you'll have a continuous, uninterrupted stream of power generated from your unit.

Can I rent a generator?

Daisy Energy offers a rental generator solution that can be done over a period of 3 to 5 years.

Can you reduce the noise level on a generator?

On average around 80 DB at 7 meters, you can make your generator more silent at an additional cost.
