ST. CLAIRE’S SECONDARY SCHOOL SOLAR PROJECT COMPLETED
On April 6th 2021 the St Claire’s Secondary School for Girls finally had running water thanks to a project funded by the Sandy Christman Foundation. It has been almost 3 years since the schools old solar powered water pump and batteries failed. Now this school for 300 girls and teaching staff has indoor running water for sinks, showers and toilets.
Working with our partners Power Providers Solar Energy Co. from Arusha, Tanzania this is now our 3rd successful project to bring carbon free, solar energy powered projects to needy organizations in rural western Tanzania.
The design highlight of this project is the stand–alone solar powered water pump system is battery free. This reduces the upfront cost of the system, saves on maintenance and future battery failure and is a good simple system for a rural area with limited access to technical support.
Scope of Work
The Power Providers solar engineering team designed, supplied and installed a stand-alone solar water pumping system at Biharamulo, for St. Claire’s Girls Secondary School. Data used for design purposes was collected from client, including a drilling report and pump test (sent on 25 January 2021). The project requirements were to meet daily water volumes of up to 10m3/day, lifting water from the borehole up to the main tanks. This was achieved by designing and installing a stand- alone submersible solar pump with a 395Wp array to reach volumes of 17m3/day in least sunny condition on an average month.
