Solomon Islands: Solar Power Development Project
Solomon Islands has no installed intermittent renewable energy generation and therefore has limited experience with integration onto existing power grids. Grid-connected electricity is generated and supplied by Solomon Islands Electricity Authority (SIEA), which is a state-owned electricity utility. SIEA
50 kW solar PV project
This project is a JICA funded project involving the installation of a 150 kW grid-connected solar PV generation. The Solar panels are mounted on custom made car garage and fed directly into the SIEA grid. It is a pilot project that addresses renewable and
Solomon Islands: Solar Power Development Project
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.
