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 long do solar panels last in Solomon Islands?

The majority of solar energy systems installed in Solomon Islands last less than 2 years due to bad system design and poor user training. Superfly's systems are designed to last a minimum of 5 years (for basic systems) and 10 years for premium systems.

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 Asian Development Bank doing in Solomon Islands?

The Asian Development Bank is working with the Government of Solomon Islands and Solomon Power to convert electricity networks in five provinces almost entirely to solar power. The project will reduce the need for costly shipments of diesel to the provincial centers. LATEST PROJECT DOCUMENTS 1.

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 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.
