Background
A manufacturing facility in the Democratic Republic of the Congo faced frequent power outages due to an unstable grid, leading to production disruptions and heavy reliance on diesel generators.
Through collaboration between ANSO and its local distributor, a customized 258kW hybrid solar system with 602kWh energy storage was deployed to ensure reliable power supply.
The solution significantly reduced diesel consumption, improved operational stability, and lowered long-term energy costs.
The Challenge
Operating in DR Congo, the factory encountered several critical energy challenges:
- Unstable grid power supply – frequent, unpredictable outages caused repeated production stops and efficiency losses.
- High diesel fuel costs – 24/7 generator operation led to soaring expenses, with manual power switching required.
- Unreliable energy supply – rising costs and downtime became major obstacles to business growth.
Over time, rising fuel expenses and unreliable electricity became major constraints on business growth.
The Solution
Working closely with our distributor, ANSO provided a customized hybrid solar + storage solution. On-site assessment by distributor, the ANSO engineering team was in charge of providing remote technical design, including Rooftop PV layouts, Electrical Wiring Diagrams, and 3D Renderings.
System Configuration
