BUILT AT LAKE VICTORIA · MWANZA, TANZANIA
sodiumX combines locally assembled sodium-ion energy, solar charging, electric service boats and data-driven aquaculture — delivered as affordable services for Lake Victoria’s coastal economy.
FROM PILOT TO PLATFORM
Our hubs turn solar energy and field data into recurring services — without asking fishing communities or fish farmers to purchase costly equipment upfront.
Robust 12 V, 24 V and 48 V sodium-ion battery modules, local assembly and solar-powered charging hubs for daily work on and around the lake.
Electric service boats connect landing sites, cage farms and solar hubs — quietly, reliably and without fuel at the point of use.
Hydrophones and water-quality sensors support better daily feeding decisions. Farmers receive clear recommendations instead of complex raw data.
LEAD-ACID OUT · SODIUMX IN
Fishing sustains millions of families around Lake Victoria. LED lamps have replaced smoky kerosene flames, but lead, battery acid and short service life still burden fishing communities and the lake.
Lightweight, long-lasting, solar-charged and free from toxic heavy metals, sodium-ion batteries provide reliable energy for LED lighting, boats and cooling. They last years rather than months and can be serviced locally.
Lower operating costs, reliable light and more productive time on the water.
No lead or battery acid entering the local ecosystem.
Clean technology, practical skills and value creation in the region.
sodiumX blue technologies brings clean battery technology to East Africa — for income, health and a thriving, sustainable blue economy.
HOW THE MODEL WORKS
Assembly, solar charging and trained teams in Mwanza
Energy, mobility and feeding support where it is needed
Affordable usage fees create dependable operations
A defined share helps finance the next hub and community
FIELD-LED IMPACT
The platform is developed in real operating environments at Lake Victoria. Igombe focuses on solar battery services for Dagaa fishing; Luchelele Bay is the living lab for electric service boats and sensor-supported aquaculture.
* 2027 figures are programme targets, not achieved results.
