Made with African Sunshine!
INAYA GOES GREEN
Inaya Zanzibar Installs Solar Panels
In 2021, Inaya Zanzibar chose to ‘go Green’ and installed solar panels at the factory and offices in Mtoni, Bububu. We decided to do this for a variety of reasons.
Zanzibar is a tourist destination, and for most of the year we welcome thousands of guests to this paradise island. The national grid cannot sustain this demand, and often power is rationed on the Island.
SUSTAINABLE
2,790 HOURS OF ZANZIBAR SUNSHINE
The monthly total of sunhours over the year in Zanzibar, Tanzania
On average, Zanzibar enjoys 2,790 sunshine hours annually.
That is nearly 9 months out of 12 of sunshine!"
GOOD PRACTISE
By choosing to go with solar power, we maintain constant production at the factory, respecting GMP (good manufacturing practices) as well as offering excellent customer services without disruption. In addition, we are saving money on electrical bills as well as having a power backup system whenever there is a power cut.
We are also the only SME (small to medium enterprise) cosmetic manufacturer on the island to install solar panels.
THE RESULTS
Since installation in September 2021, Inaya Zanzibar has been able to save TZS 3.9Million (US$ 1,675) in power bills. We have reduced our carbon emissions by 5.92 tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 152 trees!
SOME TECHNICAL DATA
