GadgetroniX – UNHCR Arusha solar system (Tanzania)
Summary
GadgetroniX installed a hybrid solar power system at the UNHCR Distribution Center in Arusha, Tanzania, to ensure uninterrupted power for logistics, warehouse, and administrative operations. The system consists of a 5.5 kWp solar array, 30 kWh of lithium battery storage, and a 20kW hybrid inverter, reducing the facility's dependency on the grid and enhancing operational resilience.
Key insights
- The UNHCR Distribution Center in Arusha required a hybrid solar system with battery backup to maintain continuous daily operations, including logistics handling and warehouse storage, particularly during grid instability.
- The installed technical configuration includes a 5.5 kWp solar array using ten 550W JA Solar MBB half-cell monocrystalline PV modules, 30 kWh of storage via one Freedom Won LiTE Commercial 30/24 HV LiFePO4 Battery, and one ATESS HPS20000TL 3P Hybrid Inverter (20kW / 22kVA).
- The project achieved several operational improvements, including reduced dependency on the grid, improved energy stability for administrative and logistics functions, and enhanced resilience for the humanitarian facility.
