We design, build, and commission plant control, SCADA, and automation systems for solar, battery storage, hybrid, and other renewable energy sites — improving uptime, optimising performance, and delivering grid-code compliance from day one.
Engineered around your plant
Code compliant by design
Commissioning & long-term support
Built for continental conditions
Get hands on with the controller. Experience some of the features.
From early design through commissioning and long-term support, we deliver the control, monitoring, and automation layer that keeps renewable plants compliant, efficient, and performing at spec.
Custom PPC design and implementation for utility-scale solar, BESS, hybrid, and other renewable plants — engineered around your plant topology, inverter fleet, and grid interconnection.
Unified SCADA and HMI platforms that give operators complete visibility, real-time alarming, historical data, and remote control across every asset on site.
Active and reactive power control, frequency response, voltage regulation, and fault ride-through engineered to South African and regional grid code requirements.
Smart dispatch logic, curtailment management, and storage co-ordination that squeeze additional yield out of every MW installed.
Bringing ageing control systems up to current standards — hardware replacement, code rewrites, protocol upgrades, and cyber-security hardening.
FAT / SAT, grid-code compliance testing, operator training, and ongoing long-term technical support agreements to keep plants performing.
Every Setcon project follows the same disciplined path from scoping to long-term support — so you know what to expect and when.
Plant topology, inverter fleet, grid connection, operational goals. We design around what's real, not assumed.
Control philosophy, I/O architecture, SCADA layout, cyber-security, and grid-code logic — documented and reviewable.
Panel build, PLC / RTU programming, HMI development, and factory acceptance testing before anything leaves the workshop.
On-site SAT, grid-code compliance testing, operator training, and a long-term support agreement tailored to your site.
Every project is measured against what actually matters to plant owners and operators: availability, compliance, and the energy yield you were promised at financial close.
Redundant architectures, clear alarming, and rapid remote diagnostics keep plants producing — and the lights on — when the resource is there.
Controllers designed from day one to pass grid-code compliance testing — no surprises at energisation.
Dispatch logic and storage co-ordination tuned to extract every kWh your plant can physically produce.
Remote support, scheduled maintenance, and on-call engineers who know your plant — not a call centre.

Whether you need a bespoke utility-scale PPC or a fast-deploy compliance controller, we have a solution that fits — configurable without being generic.
A snapshot of how we've helped renewable energy operators across Africa bring plants online, keep them compliant, and improve the numbers that matter.
A large retail mall needed to insulate trading operations from loadshedding, reduce Eskom peak-period demand charges, and co-ordinate solar, battery, and diesel assets from multiple vendors — in a live commercial environment where control failure has direct revenue impact.
A bespoke SEL-based Power Plant Controller acting as the single point of authority for every asset on site — near-seamless islanding, battery arbitrage across peak tariff windows, autonomous blackstart, and zero-export enforcement.
A critical municipal WWTW where supply interruption has direct public-health consequences — while still delivering energy arbitrage and grid-compliant PV export across a multi-asset site.
A bespoke SEL-based microgrid controller managing every asset autonomously. Structured blackstart on grid loss, BESS restart in off-grid VSG mode, and TOU energy arbitrage — with 50% of battery capacity permanently reserved for backup.
