The Challenge
Grumeti Hills Lodge required a reliable and expanded solar energy system to support full lodge operations in a remote safari environment.
Power was essential for:
- Main lodge operations
- Laundry facilities
- Staff accommodation areas
Due to increasing energy demand, the lodge needed a high-capacity upgrade with advanced storage and hybrid control systems to ensure uninterrupted operations.
The Solution
The Grumeti Hills solar system upgrade was designed as a high-capacity solar and lithium storage solution, integrating large-scale solar generation with containerised battery storage and hybrid inverter technology.
The system ensures stable, efficient, and fully monitored energy supply across all lodge operations.
System components:
- Solar array: 40.12 kWp (64 × JA Solar MBB half-cell monocrystalline PV module – 590W)
- Battery storage: 200 kWh (1 × Freedom Won LiTE Commercial 200/160 – HV LiFePO4 Battery)
- Hybrid inverter system: 2 × ATESS HPS50 (50kW / 65kVA) – 3P Hybrid Inverter
- Remote monitoring system: ATESS EnerLog monitoring platform
