Design, supply and installation of solar systems: solar PV systems and solar water pumps

Customer and Location:      Ministry of Education, Malawi

Value:                                   $1.5 million

Year:                                    2006-2010

Detailed Description

This project involved the implementation of solar power systems in 40 rural secondary schools (classrooms, laboratories, hostels, offices). The systems used highly efficient Fortune CP polycrystalline solar panels, total 1.5MWh batteries, charge controllers, inverters and mounting frames. Other independent systems included solar water pumping systems for the provision of water to the schools. All systems were supplied by Fortune CP in United Kingdom, and the installation of the works was done by Global TV & Solar and Fortune CP Malawi. The project was funded by the African Development Fund.

The beneficiaries of the project are over 25, 000 pupils and teachers. As most of the rural communities in Malawi have no access to electricity, this project will have a lasting impact. Benefits include access to electricity and lighting 24/7 for studies, no need to use environment polluting diesel generators, access to clean water, and use of telecommunication equipment

What made the project a success are factors such as Fortune CP’s  experience in implementing  solar projects in Africa, strict adherence to international standards such as IEC, quality products used, and the partnership with local companies such as Global TV & Solar, SR Nicholas and others.

Fortune CP implements solar and energy efficiency projects in the Africa and worldwide.

24/7 POWER FOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN MALAWI

Fortune CP (UK) designed, supplied and commissioned a 55KW Solar hybrid solar project for a children’s hospital in Lilongwe Malawi. The hospital is run by Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation Malawi (Baylor-Malawi) an organization sponsored by USAID and Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, USA. This is a welcome development for the hospital as Malawi usually experiences extensive power black-outs (load shedding) of 8-12 hours a day. Power black-outs are the last thing this hospital wants considering it has an operating theatre. The hospital treats thousands of children and mothers in Lilongwe City.

The system, designed supplied and installed by our company is a hybrid consisting of 25KW solar panels, controllers and inverter-chargers; 240KWh Fortune CP battery bank (each cell is 2V 2500AH GEL); 30KVA diesel generator and the Escom electricity grid. This configuration ensures 24/7 power availability. Fortune CP has more than 14 years’ experience carrying out solar projects worldwide (including Malawi).
