Aptech recently designed, supplied, installed and commissioned a hybrid solar system at the Falaba District Council office in Sierra Leone.
The system has a carport mounted 13.3kWp of Soleil power solar panels and 21.3kWh of battery storage of PylonTech Lithium-Ion batteries with three 8KVA Victron Quattro inverters, all high-quality products to ensure the system gives maximum efficiency to our client. The system is hybrid and uses energy from both solar and diesel generator. The system has a remote monitoring system which provides information on energy generation, inverter, weather condition, loading.
Falaba District Council is located in Mongo town, Falaba District in Sierra Leone. Due to the lack of electricity in the area, the solar system will ensure a reliable supply of power and benefit the district as stable power supply increases productivity and motivation among the employees hence contributing greatly to economic growth both of the individuals and the country at large.
Positive social-economic and environmental benefits of these system
- Uninterrupted power supply to the District Council Offices from the solar systems installed, will help to improve productivity hence improving the social and economic lives of the individual employees and the country at large
- The systems will contribute to climate change mitigation through reduced greenhouse gases that would otherwise come from using diesel generator
- With a hybrid system, there will be reduced monthly bills as only diesel is used as back up.
