Madikwe 5-Star Safari Lodge

A five-star safari lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve had been running on grid with a diesel generator back-up delivering 2-4 hours of energy daily and increasing due to grid issues. Elemental installed a 100kW H₂IPO, upgrading their energy mix to solar & grid backed up by the hybrid battery and hydrogen system. The system maximises the use of Solar PV and minimises peak load from the grid.

Hydrogen is produced by Elemental Energy at an electrolysis site outside the Game Reserve and delivered to the lodge.

Elemental energy produces hydrogen by electrolysis outside of the Game Reserve, and delivers to the site in trailer mounted pressurised cylinders.
The H₂IPO Installed to provide the on-site micro-grid capability and replace the existing diesel generation at the Lodge.
The H₂IPO system is a fully integrated solution that maximises the Solar PV use, limits grid peak draw and peak-time energy use.
When the Hydrogen Fuel cell is needed to back up power output, it generates hot water as a by-product which feeds the rooms and pools with heat.
