The Smart Facilities program, funded by the UNDP, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs of UN buildings. In Dar Es Salaam, where the local electrical grid is unreliable, Enviroearth designed a hybrid solar system to limit the use of diesel generators, thereby reducing fuel consumption and energy costs. High-efficiency equipment was also installed to optimize energy consumption. This system is now the largest hybrid solar power plant in the country, helping to promote the adoption of renewable energy.

Enviroearth’s mission consisted of supplying and installing a containerized hybrid solar system with 227 kWp of PV, a 122.8 kWh Lithium-Ion battery park, connected to the grid and the electrical supply.

The project included:

• Needs assessment and site survey;

• Civil engineering works by a local partner, including the installation of photovoltaic panels on rooftops and carports;

• Integration and factory testing of the solar generator;

• International and local logistics;

• Commissioning of the system and training of local partners.

Additionally, a three-year maintenance contract was signed to monitor the solar farms' production.
