GadgetroniX – Kimarishe Serengeti Lodge (Tanzania)
Summary
The Kimarishe Serengeti solar project, completed in November 2022 by GadgetroniX for TNS Hospitality, provides an off-grid energy and telecommunications solution for the Kimarishe Serengeti Lodge in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.
Key insights
- The project installed an off-grid solar system consisting of a 145.8 kWp solar array and a 320 kWh Lithium-ion battery bank to provide 24/7 energy for lodge operations, including water pumps, laundry, and staff facilities. The system utilizes an ATESS HPS 150kW Hybrid Inverter/Charger and is tracked via ATESS Enerlog for remote monitoring.
- Beyond energy production, the project implemented telecommunication services including VOIP solutions and fiber-based internet to provide connectivity for guests and staff in a remote region.
- The installation aims to improve operational continuity and cost efficiency by reducing the lodge's reliance on diesel and providing power independent of the national grid.
