In Minova, in the province of Sud Kivu in the east of the DRC, the Institut LWANGA, a vocational training center, was training motivated young people, accompanied by committed teachers, but deprived of stable electricity. For these students, every day without electricity represented a threat to their progress: computer classes cancelled, equipment unusable, constant frustration.

This was the school's daily routine. A computer room ready to train the managers of tomorrow, but blocked by a lack of access to reliable energy. Faced with this challenge, GoShop Energy stepped in with a tailor-made solar solution, perfectly adapted to the needs of the lwanga institution, and now fully self-sufficient in energy.

A complete solution, designed for performance and simplicity

To guarantee autonomy and efficiency, GoShop Energy implemented a robust solar solution that is easy to use and maintain:

  • 9 x 580W solar panels: guarantee constant energy production, even in variable conditions.
  • 1 GoPower 5kWh lithium battery: Provides long-lasting storage and stable performance.
  • Victron 250/100 controller: Ensures optimum control of the solar load for longer system life. 
  • GSM module: Provides remote monitoring and real-time system diagnostics.
  • Cerbo GX + GX Touch screen: For a clear view of the system.

Concrete results for digital learning

Since the system was commissioned, the computer room has been running without interruption. Practical lessons have resumed, in a stable environment conducive to digital learning. A whole generation of students has regained access to essential skills for the future. 

You too can choose reliable, renewable energy

Whether you're a school, health center, home or business, GoShop can provide you with reliable, sustainable solar solutions tailored to your needs.
