1 Megawatt/1.8MWh village solar energy system for the King of Congo, Africa

The King of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has provided a solar energy storage power station system for the village of Bunkeya to meet the electricity needs of 2500 small households in the village. As the village currently lacks access to the grid, the King requested the design of a 1MW solar panel system paired with a 1.8MWh lithium battery storage system to power the entire village.

The first phase of the project will provide electricity to 1,000 households, a school, a hospital, and a military unit. The solar panel installation covers an area of ​​7,500 square meters.

The project includes:

1760 pieces 600W solar panels

1MW inverter

1.8MWh lithium battery (in a 40-foot container)

500KW diesel generator

1250KVA step-up transformer

200KVA low-voltage transformers and distribution boxes

The project will generate 5.5MWh of electricity per day. The lithium battery can store 1.8MWh of electricity. During the day, solar energy directly carries all village loads; at night, the battery power is used. It is enough for all commercial places and household users connected to the electricity.
 

Based on the video footage from the site survey:

1.The location for the solar panels is sufficient and can be adjusted as needed, with preference given to positioning them near the school. From a Google Maps perspective, the village appears trapezoidal in shape, with a distance of approximately 3.12 kilometers from the power station to the farthest household. Therefore, there is no need for a step-up transformer, and low-voltage electricity can be directly distributed to each household.
2.The wiring layout will be confirmed by the local engineer.
3.Since the village is not yet connected to the grid, two 500KW diesel generators will be installed as backup power sources. These can be used to supply power during rainy days or other circumstances.
4.In addition to product sales, we offer on-site installation services and have experience in handling large projects, enabling us to address any construction-related issues effectively. Therefore, all necessary components will be provided.
A delegation representing the King has visited the TANFON factory, assessed its capabilities, and signed a contract on-site. Upon receiving the customer's deposit, we will promptly arrange for the delivery of solar panels, conduct on-site surveys, and provide construction guidance.

If you have similar needs for a solar village system or community solar system, we offer free design and survey services for you.

TANFON industrial and commercial solar energy system has been rigorously tested in tropical areas and works stably 24/7
