GadgetroniX – UNHCR Arusha solar system (Tanzania)
Summary
This case study describes the design, supply, and installation of a hybrid solar power system with lithium battery storage by GadgetroniX for the UNHCR Distribution Center in Arusha, Tanzania, to ensure uninterrupted power for logistics and administrative operations.
Key insights
- GadgetroniX installed a hybrid solar and storage system at the UNHCR Distribution Center in Arusha to address the need for a stable energy supply for logistics handling, warehouse storage, and administrative functions, specifically to mitigate grid instability or outages.
- The technical specifications of the installed system include a 5.5 kWp solar array consisting of ten 550W JA Solar MBB half-cell monocrystalline PV modules, 30 kWh of battery storage via one Freedom Won LiTE Commercial 30/24 HV LiFePO4 Battery, and one 20kW / 22kVA ATESS HPS20000TL 3P Hybrid Inverter.
- The project resulted in improved energy stability for the humanitarian facility, reduced dependency on the grid electricity supply, and enhanced operational resilience for the center's logistics and administrative functions.
