20 kWp Hybrid Solar Power System Installed at Prince Charles Luxury Apartments, Kololo – Kampala | Kweli Energy
Kweli Energy has completed the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a 20 kWp hybrid solar power stabilisation system at Prince Charles Luxury Apartments in Kololo, Kampala.
The system was installed to serve a penthouse residence within the development, addressing high electricity costs and unreliable grid supply.
Hybrid Solar System for Stable Power in Kololo
Grid power in parts of Kampala can be unstable and increasingly expensive. For a penthouse residence with multiple air conditioning units, water heaters and heavy household loads, interruptions and voltage fluctuations are more than inconvenient — they affect comfort and long-term operating costs.
The client required a solution that would:
- Reduce dependence on the grid
- Maintain stable power during outages
- Lower overall electricity expenditure
System Design and Configuration
Kweli Energy designed a 20 kWp hybrid solar system integrated with 30 kWh of lithium battery storage.
The system operates on solar during the day and transitions to battery during low generation or grid outages. This ensures continuous operation of all connected loads without manual switching.
System configuration includes:
- 20 kWp bifacial solar PV modules
- 30 kWh lithium battery storage
- 16 kVA LV smart hybrid inverter
- Wi-Fi remote monitoring for system oversight
The installation was fully tested and commissioned to ensure stable operation across all power sources.
What the Solar System Powers
The hybrid system supports all penthouse electrical loads, including:
- Air conditioning systems
- Water heaters
- Refrigerators and kitchen appliances
- Lighting
- Other essential residential loads
Measured Results
Following commissioning, the system delivers:
- Approximately 25 MWh of solar energy annually
- Around 92% reduction in grid electricity consumption
- Approximately 99% reduction in power interruption impact
- Estimated 18 tonnes of CO₂ reduction per year
The result is stable power and significantly reduced grid reliance for the residence.
