Aptech Africa is thrilled to announce the successful installation of a 120kWp solar mini grid system in Sare Demba Toro. Despite progress in electrification, many rural areas in The Gambia still lack access to reliable power. Communities rely heavily on costly thermal energy which is accessible to only a few people or have no access to electricity at all.
Aptech Africa designed, supplied, installed and commissioned the 120Kwp Off grid system in Gambia with a 167kwh battery energy storage. The system was ground mounted with an Alpha ESS remote monitoring system that indicates the operating status and input/output information.
The installed system is meant to reduce costs of grid and minimizing the emission of carbon in the premises. It is also meant to reduce on the over reliance on the thermal energy is not easily accessible in the area.
Thanks to the team of experienced engineers and technicians from Aptech Africa, the system will benefit more than 115 people that reside in the 3 communities that will benefit from the mini grid installation. Reliable energy access is a cornerstone for development. This project not only enhances operational efficiency but also demonstrates the potential of renewable energy to drive economic growth and improve livelihoods in Gambia. It showcases how solar power can be a transformative solution for businesses, institutions, and communities. The success of this project paves the way for further expansion of solar minigrids across Gambia and other African countries. By leveraging innovative technology and strategic partnerships, Aptech Africa remains committed to lighting up off-grid communities and creating a brighter, sustainable future for all.
