54 kWp solar power project for a water treatment facility in Mavoko, Kenya

The solar PV system comprised of high-efficiency solar panels mounted on a ground-mounted structure within the facility’s compound. Approximately 150 solar panels, each with a capacity of around 360 watts, were strategically positioned to maximize exposure to sunlight throughout the day.

The solar PV system was grid-tied, meaning it was connected to the local utility grid. This allowed the facility to feed any excess solar energy generated back into the grid, potentially earning credits or revenue through net metering arrangements. Additionally, the facility could draw power from the grid during periods of high demand or low solar production.

Mavoko Water Treatment

The water treatment facility in Mavoko, a rapidly growing industrial hub near Nairobi, recognized the need for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions. To address this, a 54 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) system was installed on the premises in 2023.
