Serena Hotels has established itself as one of the world’s leading hospitality brands offering quality accommodation, unique holiday and conference solutions, cultural heritage and adventure tourism. 

Problem

Mara Serena being completely under off-grid, high cost of diesel fuel, high carbon emission and desire to be eco-friendly saw the management embrace the use of solar as an alternative source of power.

Solution

OFGEN commissioned a 640kWp hybrid-ground mount PV system with 1,600kWh  of battery storage.

Impact

Since switching to solar, diesel consumption have decreased by 85%, also resulting in  a CO2 reduction of 1,474  tons.
