Aptech Africa Ltd has successfully designed and installed a 10.9 kW off-grid solar PV system at the Juba College of Nursing and Midwifery hostel. This new system features a 15 kWh battery bank consisting of 5.04 kWh Lithium-Ion batteries, Risen 545W solar panels, a 5 kVA Quattro Victron inverter, and a Victron Smart Solar MPPT charge controller. An online monitoring system has also been implemented to allow for real-time tracking of system performance.
The solar installation will benefit over 100 students and staff residing at the hostel by providing a stable and independent power source, thereby reducing reliance on the inconsistent grid supply and the hospital’s diesel generator. With consistent access to electricity, students can now study without interruption, even during power outages.
This initiative supports sustainable development by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing operational costs. By harnessing solar energy, the hostel can significantly decrease its carbon footprint and save on fuel expenses associated with the hospital’s energy needs, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change through renewable energy solutions.
