What is solar PV & how does it work in Fiji?Solar PV has been in use in Fiji for almost three decades. One of the first use of solar PV was in solar home system (SHS) that provided electricity to power basic appliances in rural households where grid electricity was not reachable. Currently, there are two types of SHS installed in Fijian homes.
Why do businesses use solar energy in Fiji?With on-site solar energy generation in Fiji, businesses can generate their own electricity and become less vulnerable to power outages, grid disruptions, and energy supply constraints. Many organisations in Fiji switch to solar energy as part of their commitment to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.
When was the first off-grid solar system installed in Fiji?In May 2002 Clay Energy commissioned the first off-grid solar base station power system for Vodafone Fiji, which led to the rollout of these power systems to six mobile operators in the region. Clay Energy’s first PV grid-connect system (18kW) was installed and commissioned in 2008, being the first in the region.
Does Fiji have solar power?According to the annual reports of Energy Fiji Limited (EFL), there has been some solar electricity generated from 1998 to 2007 by solar PV system that was commissioned in November 1997 (FEA 2016). In 1998, this system generated around 12 MWh of electricity and was doing well for almost 6 years.
