Type of Installation: Commercial Hybrid System
Location: Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, Limpopo, South Africa
Nestled deep within the wild heart of Limpopo, Pitse Lodge offers its guests a rare kind of luxury – one that doesn’t compromise the environment it celebrates.
But powering a high-end, luxury experience in a Big Five reserve?
That’s no small feat.
From luxury suites and gourmet kitchens to guided game drives and star-lit dining – every touchpoint at Pitse runs on energy. And in a remote setting like Welgevonden, reliability isn’t optional – it’s everything.
That’s where we came in.
Red Energy partnered with Pitse Lodge to deliver a silent, seamless, and sustainable energy solution that could support their premium operations, without disrupting the natural silence their guests come to enjoy.
The System Behind the Serenity
To keep things running – sustainably and independently – we installed:
- 90kW SigenStor 5-in-1 energy system: A next-generation solution that combines AI-powered energy management, solar conversion, battery storage, and system intelligence in one sleek unit.
- 288 kWh of battery backup: Ensuring uninterrupted power — even on cloudy days and during the evening game drives.
- 90 kWp of solar panels: Clean, silent energy collected straight from the African sun.
The result?
An intelligent energy system that allows the lodge to operate independently from the national grid – while drastically reducing its carbon footprint and experiencing monthly savings on its electricity bill.
At Pitse Lodge, luxury and responsibility now go hand in hand.
Thanks to solar power, guests enjoy uninterrupted comfort – without generators, without emissions, and without noise.
And that means more than just savings.
It means sunset dinners uninterrupted by power failures, cool suites in the midday heat, and true immersion in nature – with the quiet hum of sustainable technology working behind the scenes.
