GadgetroniX – Kizimbani Pemba solar project (Tanzania)

The Kizimbani Pemba solar project replaced an unstable grid and fuel-dependent water system with a 36.8 kWp off-grid solar array. This installation provides the community with 30,000 litres of water per hour, reducing operational costs and carbon emissions while supporting local agriculture and businesses.

• The Kizimbani community previously suffered from unreliable water access and high costs because they depended on fuel-powered pumps and an unstable electrical grid, which caused frequent power outages affecting businesses, farmers, and homes.
• GadgetroniX installed an off-grid solar-powered water pumping system consisting of a 36.8 kWp solar array with 80 JA Solar MBB Half-cell Monocrystalline PV Modules (460 W each) and a Grundfos RSI 3x380V IP66 22kW 46A pump controller.
• The new system provides 30,000 litres of water per hour, eliminating the need for fuel or grid electricity and lowering operational costs for the community.
