Solomon Islands Flexible Photovoltaic Panels

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
