With the loadshedding introduced by ESKOM in South Africa and the resultant call for energy saving, SunSim2 provides the ideal solution to save electricity in the broiler industry where temperature control is done by controlling curtain opening.

With the light sensor option on SunSim2, it tries to keep the light level constant as per the programmed level. When sunlight enters the broiler house, SunSim2 reduces the light level of the incandescent lamps and as a result the power consumption.

With the abundance of sunlight in South Africa virtually throughout the year, a significant saving in lighting power consumption can be achieved.
