KEY BENEFITS
With our high-quality, turn key containerized solar and battery storage systems, SustainSolar is the ideal partner for enhancing healthcare infrastructure in remote areas, ensuring improved health outcomes for patients and populations across sub-Saharan Africa.
1. RELIABLE ENERGY SUPPLY
Our modular, on-site solar PV and battery storage systems ensure continuous power, essential for the uninterrupted operation of healthcare facilities.
2. Cost-Effective
Significant reductions in solar PV and battery storage costs over the past decade make our solutions more affordable than traditional diesel generators, providing long-term savings.
3. Eco-Friendly
Unlike diesel generators, our systems offer a much cleaner energy solution, reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to a healthier environment.
4. Quick Implementation
Decentralized energy systems are quick to deploy, enabling faster access to reliable electricity for rural healthcare facilities.
CASE STUDY: UGANDA
In remote communities of Uganda’s Lake Victoria region, innovative solutions are required to help those in need. Recognising this reality, SustainSolar and Equatorial Power have successfully electrified five off-grid health clinics, thanks in part to a generous healthcare electrification grant from USAID/Power Africa.
The partnership rapidly delivered five turn key SUSTAIN BOX™ + PV systems – from Cape Town to rural Uganda – with manufacturing, shipping, and onsite commissioning completed within 3 months.
PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
This project was the first field demonstration of SustainSolar’s pre-integrated turn key cabinet solution, SUSTAIN BOX™, for rural electrification projects. The venture successfully demonstrated the rapid delivery and installation benefits of this product, quality performance as well as reliability.
The partnership between SustainSolar and Equatorial Power has proven the mobility and turn key readiness of these systems for last-mile locations in remote communities, offering compelling evidence of replicability for future projects in Uganda and beyond.
Beyond this project, SustainSolar and Equatorial Power are exploring further opportunities to expand our model – supporting development activities to increase rural communities’ access to critical health services in Uganda and across the continent.
