The Company – GadgetroniX, Tanzania’s Renewable Energy Leader

GadgetroniX is a leading distributor of globally renowned Solar, Security & Surveillance, and Communication equipment in Tanzania. Working with a team of over seventy expert technicians, supported by electrical/mechanical engineers and quantity surveyors, the company specialises in communication, energy systems, electric vehicles, mobile signal boosters, networking, and security & surveillance systems.

GadgetroniX represents several well-recognised international companies, developing, testing, and promoting clean energy technologies to empower individuals and businesses.


The Challenge – Improving Rural Water Access

The KISIMA project aimed to upgrade water infrastructure in 11 communities across Kiteto and Simanjiro districts. Oikos East Africa, a Tanzanian NGO, partnered with GadgetroniX to replace costly diesel-powered pumps, which were inefficient and required frequent maintenance.

Our team installed three solar-powered water systems to enhance water access. These systems are designed for long-term sustainability, providing reliable clean water to thousands of residents.


Renewable Solution – Solar Water Pump Installation

To ensure durability and efficiency, GadgetroniX implemented AC current solar water pumping systems to replace diesel generators.

  • Reduced operational costs compared to diesel-powered systems

  • Integration of high-quality solar energy technology for sustainability

  • Systems designed for low maintenance and long-term performance

The team provided all necessary technology and support to ensure a smooth transition to solar-powered water delivery.


Impact – Transforming Communities with Solar Water Systems

The project has delivered transformative results:

  • Clean water access: Over 240,000 people now receive safe, sustainable water

  • Lower operational costs: Solar power reduces expenses compared to diesel

  • Energy efficiency: Reliable systems for long-term operation

  • Community resilience: Training provided to local institutions ensures sustainable water management

  • Climate impact: Communities are better prepared for climate change with renewable energy adoption
