Gadgetronix – Mara River solar system (Tanzania)

A case study detailing the design and installation of an off-grid solar power system upgrade by GadgetroniX for the Serengeti Mara River Camp in Tanzania, featuring expanded solar capacity and lithium energy storage.

• GadgetroniX implemented an off-grid solar upgrade for the Serengeti Mara River Camp to support main lodge operations, laundry facilities, and staff accommodation in a remote environment.
• The technical specifications of the upgraded system include a total solar capacity of 51 kWp (comprising a 13.2 kWp array and a 37.8 kWp expansion array), 80 kWh of lithium battery storage via a Freedom WON LiTE Business battery, and a hybrid inverter system using three Victron Quattro 10 kVA 48V inverter chargers.
• The project resulted in increased energy reliability and resilience, enhanced lithium battery storage for longer power availability, and a reduced reliance on external energy sources.
