Location: Rhino Ridge
Off-Grid Solar Plant
Rhino Sands Safari is a completely off-grid Luxury Safari Camp situated in the Manyoni Game Reserve in Mkuze. Being self-sufficient for both water and electricity the camp is at the forefront of design.
Rhino Sands is powered by a Three-Phase Schneider XW+ inverter system, incorporating both 25kWp AC and 6kwP DC Coupling into the Solar system. The power storage is in the form of 200ah 2V Cells, connected to give the system 2 days autonomy of power. The Solar System has diesel integrations, where in the event of multiple rainy days the generator will supply the system with sufficient power to reset the storage to maximum capacity allowing the system to continue operating.
The Design of this solar system was built in such a way to maximise the system autonomy and minimise human interaction, allowing the complete automation of Solar, Batteries and Generator to feed the lodge.
