GadgetroniX – Off-grid solar system at Lekule Secondary School (Tanzania)
Summary
This case study describes the installation of a 6.48 kWp off-grid solar system at Lekule Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, by GadgetroniX and the Little Sun Foundation to replace unreliable grid electricity and costly fossil fuel generators.
Key insights
- GadgetroniX installed a 6.48 kWp off-grid solar system at Lekule Secondary School to address unreliable power and high operational costs associated with grid electricity and fossil fuel generators. The technical configuration consists of 6.48 kWp JA Solar Monocrystalline Solar Panels, a 20 kWh Freedom Won LiTE Home LiFePO4 Battery, and a Victron Easy Solar II 3kVA/48V Hybrid Inverter.
- The solar project has improved the school's operational efficiency and educational environment by providing a consistent power supply that allows students to study after dark and enables teachers to incorporate technology into their lessons. Additionally, the system has reduced carbon emissions and lowered operational expenses.
