Summary
A case study detailing the design, supply, and installation of a solar power system upgrade by GadgetroniX for the Grumeti Hills Lodge in the Serengeti, Tanzania, to support remote lodge operations.
Key insights
- GadgetroniX implemented a high-capacity solar and lithium storage upgrade for the Grumeti Hills Lodge to support main lodge operations, laundry facilities, and staff accommodation in a remote safari environment.
- The technical specifications of the Grumeti Hills solar system upgrade include a 40.12 kWp solar array consisting of 64 JA Solar MBB half-cell monocrystalline PV modules (590W), 200 kWh of battery storage via a Freedom Won LiTE Commercial 200/160 HV LiFePO4 Battery, and a hybrid inverter system comprising two ATESS HPS50 (50kW / 65kVA) 3P Hybrid Inverters.
- The project utilized the ATESS EnerLog monitoring platform for remote system monitoring and aimed to increase energy storage capacity, improve operational stability in a remote location, and strengthen energy independence.
