A public service facility in Senegal needed a more reliable solar power system for offices, lighting, communication equipment, security systems and selected critical loads.

The project uses rooftop solar panels across several building roofs, together with a containerized outdoor equipment room for centralized electrical integration. WHC Power configured the project as a 100kW rooftop solar power system with approximately 215kWh battery storage support.

The solution focuses on solar generation, system integration, backup power support and better use of available rooftop space for daily public service operations.

Project Background

Public buildings often need dependable electricity for daily administration, service counters, lighting, communications, security and basic facility operation. When the grid is unstable, even short interruptions can affect service continuity.

The rooftop layout made solar PV installation practical without requiring additional land. The outdoor containerized equipment room also supported centralized integration of inverter equipment, battery storage support, electrical protection and system control.

Power Supply Challenges

The site needed a solar power structure that could support daytime building loads and provide backup support for selected critical equipment.

Grid fluctuation and short outages created pressure on daily public services, while diesel generator dependence increased fuel and maintenance requirements.

The system also needed to be suitable for a multi-building rooftop environment, with clear electrical integration, maintainable equipment placement and practical operation for facility teams.

WHC Power Solution

WHC Power provided a 100kW rooftop solar power system with approximately 215kWh battery storage support for the public service building.

During the day, the rooftop solar PV system helps supply building loads and charge the battery system. When grid power is unstable or selected critical loads need backup support, the battery storage works with the inverter / PCS solution to maintain more reliable operation.

The containerized equipment room supports centralized system integration, helping simplify installation, operation and maintenance for the public facility.
