Kacific needed a dependable, sustainable power supply for its network. Many of its sites are in remote, challenging locations, where reliance on diesel generation meant high costs and a significant environmental impact.

Ryse Energy delivered a pilot hybrid system combining two 400 W micro wind turbines, a 27.84 kWp solar PV system, a 12 kW Bladon Microturbine Generator and 76.8 kWh of LiFePO₄ battery storage. The system delivered consistent power, reduced diesel consumption and lowered operating costs.

Following the pilot’s success, the program has expanded, with hybrid sites now operating across Papua New Guinea. The installations are designed to perform reliably in on-grid and off-grid conditions, giving the network resilience and room to scale.

Products in this project: micro wind turbines, Bladon microturbine gensets and telecom tower hybrid power.

Frequently asked questions

What does the hybrid system at a Kacific site include?

Two 400 W micro wind turbines, a 27.84 kWp solar PV system, a 12 kW Bladon Microturbine Generator and 76.8 kWh of LiFePO4 battery storage.

What did the pilot achieve?

The system delivered consistent power, reduced diesel consumption and lowered operating costs, and the program has since expanded across Papua New Guinea.

Do the sites work on-grid and off-grid?

Yes. The installations are designed to perform reliably in both on-grid and off-grid conditions.

Can a telecom hybrid system include a generator?

Yes. Kacific’s sites pair wind, solar and LiFePO4 storage with a 12 kW Bladon microturbine generator for times when wind and solar output is low.

How can Ryse help with a similar telecom site?

Ryse designs, supplies and installs hybrid wind, solar, battery and genset systems for off-grid and bad-grid towers, and provides maintenance and monitoring. See telecom tower hybrid power or talk to our team.
