GadgetroniX – Weni Pemba borehole solarisation project (Tanzania)

The Weni Pemba borehole solarisation project replaced an unstable grid and fuel-powered pumping system with a 41.4 kWp solar array. The system provides 45,000 litres of water per hour to homes, farmers, and businesses, eliminating fuel costs and reducing carbon emissions.

• The project addressed water insecurity caused by an unstable power grid and the high cost of fuel-powered pumps, which previously led to frequent disruptions for local businesses, farmers, and households.
• The technical installation consists of a 41.4 kWp solar array comprising 90 JA Solar MBB Half-cell Monocrystalline PV Modules (460 W each) and a Grundfos RSI pump controller, integrated with existing Grundfos pump equipment.
• The off-grid system delivers 45,000 litres of water per hour, resulting in reduced operational costs by removing dependence on fuel and grid electricity, while lowering carbon emissions.
