The Asian Development Bank, Saudi Fund for Development, and Solomon Power are all financing the project. A project is now underway on the Solomon Islands to help the country accelerate its renewable energy generation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
