In the remote mining heartlands of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), energy is the single greatest hurdle to profitability. With zero grid coverage, many mining operations are trapped in a cycle of expensive, unreliable, and carbon-heavy diesel power.
TARGET Solar (Xiamen Lianbang Technology) is breaking this cycle. Leveraging 20 years of expertise, we have engineered a customized Solar-Storage-Diesel Hybrid Solution that transforms energy from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
The Crisis: The High Price of Diesel Dependency
For off-grid mines in the DRC, diesel generators are a "necessary evil." However, the hidden costs are staggering:
-
Logistics & Pricing: Fuel transport to remote sites pushes electricity costs to $0.3–$0.6 per kWh.
-
Production Risks: Frequent mechanical failures and a lack of local spare parts lead to costly downtime.
-
ESG Compliance: Rising pressure from international investors to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards makes traditional diesel-only power unsustainable.
The Innovation: "Solar First, Diesel as Backup"
The DRC boasts world-class solar irradiation (4.5–5.5 kWh/m²/day). Our system maximizes this resource to power a 150kWh daily load with precision and intelligence:
-
Daytime Peak (08:00–18:00): 55 units of 640W High-Efficiency Monocrystalline modules power heavy machinery directly, providing 130kWh of clean energy.
-
Nighttime Security (18:00–08:00): A 30.7kWh LiFePO4 battery bank ensures that lighting, security monitoring, and emergency systems remain active 24/7 without burning a drop of fuel.
-
Smart Synergy: Our proprietary 15kW Hybrid Inverter (EMS) intelligently orchestrates power flow, activating the generator only during extreme weather or low battery levels.
The Impact: Quantifiable Results
Switching to a TARGET Solar hybrid system delivers immediate and long-term financial benefits:
-
Fuel Savings: Expected reduction in diesel consumption by over 80%.
-
Economic ROI: Annual savings of approximately $20,000 USD (approx. 143,000 RMB), driving an investment return of 15% or more.
-
Environmental Value: 45.9 tons of CO2 reduced annually, enhancing the mine's green credentials for global markets.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How does the system handle the DRC’s rainy season? While solar is the priority, the integrated Diesel Generator serves as a smart backup. The EMS automatically triggers the generator during prolonged heavy rain to ensure 100% uptime for production and security.
Q2: Is the system scalable if our mining capacity grows?
Absolutely. Our architecture is modular. You can easily expand the battery bank or PV array as your power demands increase without replacing the core infrastructure.
Q3: How do you manage maintenance in such a remote location?
We combine Remote Monitoring with local service capabilities. Our cloud platform resolves 90% of software issues instantly from our headquarters. For hardware, we provide on-site training for your staff and have established service networks in the region.
Q4: Can this system be installed on existing mining rooftops?
Yes. For color steel tile roofs, we offer a lightweight, glue-on mounting solution that requires no drilling or reinforcement, significantly reducing installation costs and time.
