Background: Power Shortages and Energy Challenges in Zambia

Zambia is one of Africa's countries with abundant solar irradiation, making it well suited for solar power generation. However, in recent years, the country has faced:

  • Severe droughts impacting hydropower generation

  • Frequent power shortages and load shedding

  • Limited reliability of traditional energy supply for residential users

As electricity supply became increasingly unstable, ensuring basic and continuous household power emerged as a priority for residential buildings.

Project Objectives

Before implementation, the project defined several clear objectives:

  1. Provide reliable electricity for residential buildings

  2. Reduce dependence on traditional grid power during shortages

  3. Utilize Zambia’s strong solar resource conditions

  4. Deploy standardized systems suitable for residential use

Given these conditions, off-grid home solar power systems were selected as a practical and scalable solution.

Solution Design and System Selection

After evaluating local environmental conditions and residential electricity demand, the project adopted Anern’s 10.2kW off-grid home solar power system.

The system was designed to operate independently from the grid, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply even during periods of national power shortage.

System Configuration and Technical Components

Each 10.2kW off-grid home solar power system includes:

  • 24 × 450W solar panels

  • 10.2kW off-grid inverter

  • Combiner box

  • 4 × 48V 200Ah lithium batteries

Key system characteristics:

  • Efficient conversion of solar energy into usable household electricity

  • Battery storage to support nighttime and low-sunlight operation

  • Stable output suitable for common residential appliances

  • Independent operation without reliance on traditional energy sources

This configuration meets most daily power needs for residential buildings.

Installation and Deployment

The systems were installed across multiple residential buildings in Zambia.
Once commissioned, each system provided standalone electricity supply, supporting:

  • Household lighting

  • Daily domestic appliances

  • Essential residential loads

The standardized design simplified installation and ensured consistent performance across all deployed units.

Project Significance and Resident Impact

After installation, the off-grid home solar systems delivered clear results:

  • Residential buildings maintained normal power supply during grid shortages

  • Dependence on traditional energy sources was significantly reduced

  • Residents gained access to stable and predictable electricity

  • Energy efficiency and system reliability received positive feedback from users

The project demonstrates the practicality of off-grid solar solutions for residential energy security in regions affected by power instability.

Project Fact Summary

  • In September 2023, 60 sets of 10.2kW off-grid home solar power systems were deployed in residential buildings in Zambia.

  • The project addressed power shortages caused by drought and reduced hydropower generation.

  • Each system includes solar panels, an off-grid inverter, and lithium battery storage.

  • The systems operate independently from the utility grid.

  • The project provides reliable household electricity without traditional energy supply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why were off-grid systems chosen for this project?

Because frequent power shortages made grid electricity unreliable for residential users, off-grid systems ensured continuous household power.

What type of users does this system serve?

The systems were installed in residential buildings to meet daily household electricity needs.

What role do lithium batteries play in the system?

Lithium batteries store excess solar energy, allowing electricity use during nighttime and periods of low sunlight.

Can the system operate without any grid connection?

Yes. Each system is designed for full off-grid operation and does not rely on traditional energy supply.

Is Zambia suitable for solar power generation?

Yes. Zambia has strong solar irradiation, making it well suited for residential solar power systems.

Can similar systems be used in other African countries?

Yes. This off-grid home solar configuration is suitable for regions with abundant sunlight and unstable grid infrastructure.

Conclusion

This Zambia project shows how 10.2kW off-grid home solar power systems can provide stable residential electricity in regions affected by power shortages and hydropower constraints.
