Why is the power supply in the Solomon Islands so volatile?

Currently, most of the power in the Solomon Islands is dependent on diesel generated power which uses imported fuel. This volatile energy supply structure is susceptible to soaring fuel prices, and the people want it to be rectified as soon as possible.

What is the power generation capacity of Solomon Islands?

The power generating capacity of the Solomon Islands is currently 10.2 MW, which is equal to its peak load capacity. One mining company in the Solomon Islands generates its own electricity with a power capacity of 11 MW and a peak load of 8 – 9 MW.

Does Solomon have a solar system?

Solomon has natural conditions suitable for solar power, and they are promoting renewable energy, but the grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system (hereinafter referred to as “grid-connected PV system”) has not been introduced.

How much money does a private company need in the Solomon Islands?

The interviews were conducted in the following 6 locations. According to the results of the customer survey, the maximum investment at one time for the average private company in the Solomon Islands is 200,000 SBD, so it was determined that deployment would be difficult with an initial cost similar the one for this project.

Is Solomon (Honiara) a good place to install solar panels?

Solomon (Honiara) has about 1.3 times the amount of solar radiation (horizontal plane) than Japan, so the environment is optimal for PV installation. Using the following calculation method, the amount of power generated annually was calculated based on this solar radiation data.

How much power does a diesel generator generate in Solomon?

The fuel consumption and fuel cost when the existing diesel generators in Solomon are used to generate 70,000 kWh of power was estimated. The results are shown in Table 3. (Considering 74,458 kWh/year will decline due to some factors, the approximate value is 70,000 kWh per year.)
