GadgetroniX – Kizimbani Pemba solar project (Tanzania)

A case study detailing the installation of a solar-powered water pumping system by GadgetroniX in Kizimbani, Pemba, Tanzania, to replace unreliable grid and fuel-powered systems.

• The Kizimbani Pemba solar project replaced a dependence on an unstable electrical grid and fuel-powered pumps, which had previously caused frequent power outages and disrupted water supply for local businesses, farmers, and homes.
• GadgetroniX installed an off-grid solar-powered water pumping system capable of providing 30,000 litres of water per hour. The technical specifications include a 36.8 kWp Solar Array consisting of 80 JA Solar MBB Half-cell Monocrystalline PV Modules (460 W each) and a Grundfos RSI 3x380V IP66 22kW 46A pump controller, integrated with existing Grundfos pump equipment.
• The project has resulted in lower operational costs by eliminating expenses related to fuel and grid electricity, while providing a sustainable, low-maintenance system that reduces carbon emissions.
