GadgetroniX – Hamia villa solar system (Tanzania)
Summary
GadgetroniX installed a boutique off-grid energy system at Hamia Villa in Zanzibar, Tanzania, consisting of a 3.68 kWp solar array, 10 kWh lithium battery storage, and a 300l solar water heater. The system was implemented to provide stable electricity for the main lodge, laundry, and staff areas, resulting in reduced operational costs and lower dependency on external power sources.
Key insights
- Hamia Villa required an independent, off-grid energy solution to eliminate operational inconsistencies caused by dependence on external electricity sources, specifically to power the main lodge, laundry facilities, and staff areas.
- The installed technical solution comprises a 3.68 kWp solar array using eight 555 W Jinko Solar P-type mono-facial PV modules, 10 kWh of FreedomWON LiFePO4 battery storage, a Victron Multiplus-II 3 kVA inverter charger, and a 300l closed-loop Calpak solar water heater.
- The implementation of the solar integration system achieved a reliable power supply across the villa, lowered operational costs, and improved the long-term sustainability of the boutique hospitality operations.
