GadgetroniX – Off-grid solar system at Lekule Secondary School (Tanzania)

GadgetroniX installed a 6.48 kWp off-grid solar system with battery storage and hybrid inverter technology at Lekule Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania. The system, which includes JA Solar panels and a 20 kWh Freedom Won battery, replaced a reliance on inconsistent grid electricity and fossil fuel generators. This transition has enabled students to study after dark, reduced the school's carbon emissions, and lowered operational expenses.

• Lekule Secondary School previously faced disruptions to learning and administration due to an unreliable power supply and a dependence on expensive, inconsistent grid electricity and fossil fuel generators, which limited students' ability to study after dark.
• The technical solution implemented by GadgetroniX consists of a 6.48 kWp off-grid solar system featuring JA Solar Monocrystalline Solar Panels, a 20 kWh Freedom Won LiTE Home LiFePO4 Battery for storage, and a Victron Easy Solar II 3kVA/48V Hybrid Inverter with a built-in MPPT charge controller.
• The solar installation has resulted in a consistent power supply that allows for the integration of technology in lessons and study after dark, while simultaneously lowering operational costs and reducing carbon emissions.
