PV ELECTRIFICATION OF DISPENSARIES IN GUADELOUPE

Objective

To install solar powered vaccine refrigerators and lighting at 40 sites on the island of Guadeloupe (total power 9.216 kWp). The most important aspect is the reliability of the power supply: the cold chain for the vaccines must not be interrupted.

33 sites have a 200 litre refrigerator, 6 panels (48 W each), battery 195 Ah, 24 V.
7 sites have a 140 litre refrigerator, 4 panels (48 W each), battery 135 Ah, 24 V.
