This project was a partnership between Aptech Africa, UNICEF and Peak Power - with Peak Power managing the in-country logistics, local fabrication and installation with Aptech supplying, commissioning, training and performing handover of the system.
This PV installation featured bespoke building integrated PV to provide coverings for the new UNICEF building roof top which is used by UNICEF staff for lunch and events.
The power system is integrated with the on-site diesel generator and provides energy to protected loads within the UNICEF building, this powers isolated loads such a lighting, security systems and IT and communication systems for much longer periods than UPS’s — reducing demand on diesel and improving reliability from constant AC source switching.
