TORTILIS CAMP
SOLAR PV PROJECT SUMMARY
From the 1 June 2014, C&P’s Tortilis Camp will be one of a
few luxury lodges running exclusively on solar power.
The 46 kWp system, designed to replace all of the camps
27,000 litres of diesel, will reduce carbon emissions by more
than 72 tons per annum.
The project is one of the first commercial-scale, third-party
financed and operated solar systems in Kenya and the first
Solar4Africa project commissioned in the country.
The system, which is owned by NVI Energy, designed & installed
by technical partner Harmonic Systems, will provide power to the
camp on a per unit basis under NVI’s Solar4Africa plan – a solar
power solution for businesses in Africa.
The system will provide the camp up to 77,400 kWh annually,
storing energy produced during the day in an 11 ton Hoppecke
battery bank, for use at night. The 190 solar panels cover an
2
area of 440 m and have been carefully positioned to minimise
visual impact while optimising yield.
