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.
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.
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.
How many solar homes are there in the Solomon Islands?
“Solomon Islands currently has one of the lowest levels of access to electricity in the region, with over 85% of the population of Solomon Islands still without access to electricity and for this project alone, we received over 6,000 applications to obtain only 2,000 solar home systems,” said Mr Aimaea.
Does Solomon power purchase excess energy from a photovoltaic system?
Solomon Power does NOT purchase excess energy from a domestic or commercial photovoltaic system. Solomon Power DOES apply a daily standby charge for the operation of solar PV arrays that are connected to its network. This is 50% of the power that is generated by the array and consumed internally by the customer.
Why does Solomon power use solar panels?
Solomon Power follows the Australian/ New Zealand standards for connection of solar panels to its electricity grid. This is to ensure the safety of its staff and customers, as well as ensuring that customers can be comfortable with their investments.
