Sustainable Solar for a Congolese Villa
This charming 80sqm villa in Congo sought an eco-friendly energy upgrade. Installing a 5.5kWp solar array covering 25sqm of their 40sqm roof, the homeowners coupled it with a compact 5kW, 20kWh all-in-one storage system.
While generating over 21kWh daily, limited storage meant excess solar was wasted. Total household loads of 14kWh left good potential for increased self-consumption through optimized management.
We visited to assess their full solar potential. Recommending expanding the array to maximize the 40sqm available roofspace, we also proposed upgrading to a modular 2x5kW solar + 3kWh battery storage solution.
Our redesigned system intelligently prioritizes running A/C units during peak sunlight hours using battery power. Now over 6 months in, results speak for themselves - the homeowners enjoy near total solar self-reliance including evenings and achieve 30% energy cost savings annually.
Through a small revamp leveraging their existing solar asset, this charming home significantly reduced bills while turning an average 21kWh/day of sunlight into valuable clean power all day and night. A true sustainable energy success story and demonstration of solar's versatile benefits for your properties.
