Clean energy and electric fleets for mine sites
Solar, battery storage, charging and electric haul fleets for mining operations, with energy and fleet data in one dashboard. Designed, financed, built and operated by SUN under one contract.
What makes energy hard at a mine site?
Conditions on the ground that determine what an energy transition can realistically achieve in industrial operations.
Diesel dependency at remote sites
Off-grid operations rely on generators with high fuel, logistics and maintenance costs.
Fuel-intensive fleet operations
Diesel trucks and vehicles add to both cost and emissions.
High and volatile energy costs
Electricity and diesel take a growing share of operating costs.
Pressure to meet emission targets
Buyers, lenders and regulators expect measurable decarbonisation.
What SUN builds for mining
Two business units, one contract: SUN Energy for on-site power, SUN Mobility for electric fleets and charging.
SUN EnergyOn-site power
- Generate · Solar PV
Solar PV field
Ground-mounted arrays sized to camp and processing loads reduce the diesel burned by site generators.
- Store · Battery storage (BESS)
Battery storage
Stored solar output carries night load and covers demand peaks, so the generators stay on standby.
SUN MobilityFleets and charging
- Charge · EV charging
Charging
Charging bays on the plateau and at the pit floor recharge haul trucks during shift change and crib breaks.
- Move · Electric fleet
Electric haul fleet
Electric haul trucks, excavators and light vehicles supplied under the MOVE OPEX scheme.

Questions about energy for mining
What does SUN offer mining operations?
Ground-mounted solar sized to camp and processing loads, battery storage for night load and demand peaks, charging bays for haul trucks, an electric haul fleet under the MOVE OPEX scheme, and an EMS / FMS dashboard for energy, fleet and emission data. SUN Energy covers on-site power; SUN Mobility covers fleets and charging.
Can solar and batteries power an off-grid mine site?
At PT Cipta Kridatama’s off-grid site in Jambi, SUN built 643.8 kWp of solar and a 1 MWh containerised battery (CBESS). Solar generated during the day is stored and released as the site needs it, and SUN’s release puts output at about 849,000 kWh a year.
How are haul trucks charged on site?
Charging bays on the plateau and at the pit floor recharge haul trucks during shift change and crib breaks. SUN installs DC fast and megawatt charging for heavy vehicles, and charging can draw on solar and stored power.
How can a mine pay for solar, storage or an electric fleet?
Energy systems can be bought outright, rented with no upfront cost over 15–25 years, or leased over 3–6 years. Electric fleets are supplied under MOVE OPEX: vehicles on a monthly fee, with charging and maintenance in the same contract.
Has SUN worked with coal mining companies?
Yes. SUN developed 720 kWp of roll-up solar at Berau Coal’s coal processing plant in Suaran, East Kalimantan, and lists rooftop solar projects for PT Borneo Indobara and the PT Berau Coal head office. SUN also co-organised Greenovation 2026 with the Indonesian Coal Mining Association (APBI-ICMA).
