The largest photovoltaic panel manufacturer in the Solomon Islands

How do solar panels produce electricity in the Solomon Islands?

Solar PV panels produce most power when they are pointed directly at the sun. In the Solomon Islands, solar modules should face north for optimum electricity production. The orientation of the panels will often have a greater effect on annual energy production than the angle they are tilted at.

Who is financing a solar energy project in the Solomon Islands?

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.

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.

Can solar panels be connected to the Solomon Islands grid?

There is an increasing number of products and suppliers on the market, most of which will be able to be connected to the Solomon Islands grid. Solomon Power follows the Australian/ New Zealand standards for connection of solar panels to its electricity grid.

Are solar power systems a viable option for the Solomon Islands?

Solar power systems are now an affordable option for households looking to reduce their power bills and generate their own electricity. There is an increasing number of products and suppliers on the market, most of which will be able to be connected to the Solomon Islands grid.

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.
