Gadgetronix – Solar water pumping system (Tanzania)
Summary
GadgetroniX installed a solar-powered submersible water pumping system in Morogoro, Tanzania, to provide a sustainable water supply of approximately 5,000 litres per day. The system utilizes a 3.6 kWp solar generator and a Lorentz pump to eliminate reliance on grid electricity or fuel, reducing water collection time and operational costs for the local community.
Key insights
- GadgetroniX installed a submersible solar water pumping system in Morogoro, Tanzania, designed to provide a sustainable water supply of approximately 5,000 litres per day without relying on fuel or the electrical grid.
- The technical specifications of the system include a 3.6 kWp solar generator consisting of eight 450Wp Jinko Solar Panels, a Lorentz Pump End PE C-SJ3-32 with Motor ECDRIVE 4000-C, and a Lorentz Pump Controller PS2-4000, achieving a Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of 200 m and a flow rate up to 4.2 m³/h.
- The project resulted in several community and environmental benefits, including improved access to safe water, the elimination of fuel costs, reduced time spent collecting water, and the training of local community members in system operation and maintenance.
