The photovoltaic system for the Heshima Rescue Centre in Mtwapa, which was commissioned in August 2024, is an important project for the centre’s sustainable energy supply. The system includes a T-One S10000 51.2V 200Ah 10.24kWh LiFePO4 battery, which provides reliable and long-lasting storage of the energy generated. This advanced battery is known for its high efficiency, long life and safety, making it ideal for use in solar energy systems.

The system is powered by 9 monocrystalline panels, each delivering an output of 580W and a voltage of 34V. The panels are compact and powerful with a size of 1960 x 1060 x 35 mm, offering optimum energy yield with minimum space requirements. This combination of battery and solar panels ensures that the Heshima Rescue Centre is supplied with reliable and environmentally friendly power, even under difficult conditions.

This project was made possible by the generous support of Jürgen Schwarz, owner of the “Elektro-Meisterbetrieb Schwarz Electrics” from Krefeld, Germany. He not only provided the technical expertise, but also coordinated the work on site. The project was financed by Heshima-Kinderförderung e.V., with Jürgen Schwarz playing a key role with his initiative. This international cooperation will strengthen the Heshima Rescue Centre in the long term by providing it with a stable and cost-effective power supply, which will contribute directly to improving living conditions and operational efficiency.
