Electricity costs continue to be one of the biggest challenges facing businesses in Eswatini today.
Whether you run a butchery, supermarket, restaurant or food distribution company, energy bills can quietly erode your profits.
Cold storage systems, which are essential for preserving products and maintaining quality, consume significant power daily.
In an economy where margins are already tight, this strain on operational budgets can make the difference between growth and stagnation.
Fortunately, new technology is offering a lifeline. PIC Smart Tech, a local innovator in industrial refrigeration, has introduced Eswatini’s first Solar-Ready Cold Room Conversion, a groundbreaking solution that allows businesses to save up to 70 per cent on electricity costs or even run completely off-grid.
This advancement is transforming how industries manage energy consumption and maintain consistent performance in refrigeration-dependent operations.
This is how Sabelo Simelane, the Managing Director at PIC Engineering unpacked the system: “Think of your cold room as a profit-driving asset.”
PIC Engineering’s Solar-Compatible Cold Room System delivers dependable refrigeration, substantial energy savings and peace of mind.
