The site also includes administrative offices.<\/p>\n<p>The cold rooms offer constant, controllable above- and below-freezing environments suitable for vaccines requiring very specific temperature-storage. Power blackout protection has been assured by choosing a private electricity supply based on solar energy. The Ministry of Health chose this option because it offers cheaper, more reliable energy.<\/p>\n<p>This installation was completed by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goshop.cd\" target=\"_blank\">GoShop<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; the authorised reseller of Victron products in the DRC. GoShop have designed a containerised solar-based Uninterrupted Power Supply for the site&#8217;s refrigeration plant and administration department. Power to the offices can be redirected to the cold rooms in the event of a breakdown, or to avoid a critical power situation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-scaled.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-1500x1125.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-750x563.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/09\/KINKOLE-GOSHOP-9_175103952-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The solar based system comprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>640 mono solar panels producing 150kWp<\/li>\n<li>a further 180 mono solar panels producing 72kWp<\/li>\n<li>18 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/inverters-chargers\/quattro\" target=\"_blank\">Quattro inverters<\/a> of 15kVA<\/li>\n<li>6 Fronius Eco of 27 kW<\/li>\n<li>5 BYD Battery Box of 13.8 kWh<\/li>\n<li>96 GEL Valve Regulated Lead Acid 2V 3000Ah batteries<\/li>\n<li>3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/panel-systems-remote-monitoring\/color-control\" target=\"_blank\">Color Control GX<\/a><\/li>\n<li>2 Indelec lightning rods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Democratic Republic of Congo experiences one of the highest density of lighting strikes in the world &#8211;
