The solution, currently under deployment by DPA is tailored to the hospital’s energy needs and designed to increase efficiencies. It will be grid-tied with photovoltaic (PV) of 80 kWp capacity and mounted on the rooftop.
This will see the facility save 30-40 per cent of their monthly electricity cost of approximately KES 550,000- this is through the use of solar power and reduced maintenance costs of all major hospital equipment affected by erratic power fluctuation.
The hospital sector, in operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is one of the areas with high energy consumption and NCH joins a growing list of companies, universities, factories and hospitals in Kenya that have turned to solar PV grid-tied systems to supply power for self-consumption.
