The location of Murchison River Lodge has its challenges, especially as mains electricity is 30km away, yet since the very beginning the lodge has run 100% off solar. In recent years, and with the help of some very clever friends, we have invested in more panels and now have 40 individual systems in place which means we can do so much more using renewable energy which is great news for our planet.
Here’s how:
- We have over 30 kilowatts of solar input
- All kitchen fridges, freezers & bar fridges fun off solar
- En-suite accommodation showers are solar
- All lights run off solar
- A solar water pump for the swimming pool
- We offer solar powered charging stations in the lodge bar & pool lounge
- USB solar charging points in all en-suite accommodation
- The solar systems we have in place cannot handle high wattage appliances such as hair dryers, so please don't use yours while staying with us
