Built and designed by David Sekalegga at Energy Systems Limited
There are three AC systems, and four small DC systems
The Photovoltaic (PV) field has 34 solar panels
The Centre uses both deep cell acid batteries and lithium LFP batteries
The very first system caught fire and was destroyed
A generator was added as emergency back up power
Inverters are used to transform the power from DC (from the solar panels) to AC used by most electrical items
