The Company
GadgetroniX is a leading distributor of globally renowned solar, water, security & surveillance, and communication equipment in Tanzania. Working with a team of highly competent staff including over seventy expert technicians employed full-time, a group of electrical/mechanical engineers, and quantity surveyors, has enabled GadgetroniX to specialise in an array of areas including communication, energy systems, water systems, electric vehicles, mobile signal boosters, networking, and security & surveillance systems. GadgetroniX represents several well-recognised international companies in the pursuit of developing, testing, and promoting clean energy technologies and other services to empower individuals and businesses.
The Challenge
Access to safe and reliable water remains a challenge for many communities in Morogoro. Dependence on distant or unsafe water sources increases health risks and consumes valuable time, especially for women and children.
The client, Jaluo Nassa Mtemi Katasiko, required a solar water pumping system that could provide a consistent and sustainable water supply of approximately 5,000 litres per day. The system needed to operate efficiently in a remote setting without reliance on grid electricity or fuel-powered alternatives.
The Solution
GadgetroniX designed, supplied, and installed a submersible solar water pumping system in Morogoro tailored to meet the site’s specific water demands and environmental conditions. The system delivers reliable water supply using clean solar energy.
System specifications:
- Pump system: PS2-4000 C-SJ3-32
- Total Dynamic Head (TDH): 200 m
- Flow rate: Up to 4.2 m³/h
- Solar generator: 3.6 kWp
- Daily output: Approx. 5,000 litres
Scope of work:
- Transport of equipment to site
- Installation of the submersible pump in the borehole
- Setup of a 3 m aluminium solar mounting structure
- Installation of solar panels
- Electrical connections between pump, controller, and solar modules
- System commissioning and testing
- Training of community members on operation and maintenance
Main equipment:
- Lorentz Pump End PE C-SJ3-32 with Motor ECDRIVE 4000-C
- Lorentz Pump Controller PS2-4000
- 8 × 450Wp Jinko Solar Panels
- 3 m Aluminium Solar Support Structure
Project Outcome
- Improved access to safe water – Reliable supply of clean water for daily use
- Solar-powered efficiency – No fuel costs and no grid dependency
- Community empowerment – Local users trained for operation and maintenance
- Time savings – Reduced time spent collecting water from distant sources
- Environmental sustainability – Clean energy solution with reduced carbon footprint
- Cost-effective solution – Low operational costs and long-term reliability
This project highlights how solar-powered water systems can transform rural communities. By combining innovation with practical implementation, GadgetroniX continues to deliver sustainable solutions that improve lives and support long-term development.
