Case Study: Iceberg PVPS Hospital System: Vaccine, Blood Refrigeration & Building Power Supply, Abuja, Nigeria

Solar Fridges for Vaccine Distribution

In conjunction with our Partners Iceberg PVPS in Abuja, Nigeria, Bright Light Solar Ltd designed and delivered refrigeration and general power systems for the local hospital.

Prior to implementation of the project, electrical supply to the hospital was provided by NEPA (utility company) and had proved to be unreliable and infrequent. Running diesel generators for extended periods of time is extremely expensive, and fuel is not always readily available.

Nurses and doctors working in the evening or night require basic levels of light to work at all; performing operations after dark is impossible. The lack of a reliable power supply also meant that blood and vaccine supplies could not be stored safely at the hospital.
