First Solar-Battery Project completed for Tuvalu

In January 2020, Infratec completed the commissioning of a 73.5kW rooftop solar panel-battery storage project on the Tuvalu Fisheries Department building in Funafuti. The NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade funded project was the

Floating Solar Photovoltaic System Installation

The installation of Tuvalu''s inaugural Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) system has been successfully completed, with this cutting-edge system seeing 184 solar panels positioned on Tafua Pond in Funafuti.

Tuvalu | Clay Energy

The installation of Tuvalu''s inaugural 100.28kWp Floating Solar Photovoltaic System (FSPV) consists of a total of 184 x 545W Sunergy solar panels with a solar floating mounting system. Through this new FSPV system 174.2MWh of electricity will be generated each year, meeting two percent of Funafuti''s annual energy demand.

Renewable energy in Tuvalu is a growing sector of the country''s energy supply. Tuvalu has committed to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy. This is considered possible because of the small size of the population of Tuvalu and its abundant solar energy resources due to its tropical location. It is somewhat complicated because Tuvalu consists of nine inhabited islands. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Str

ADB commissions 500 kW solar project with 2 MWh of storage in Tuvalu

Tuvalu, an island country midway between Hawaii and Australia, has commissioned a new solar and storage project with the ADB, featuring a 500 kW on-grid solar rooftop array and a 2 MWh BESS in...

Fuelling Tuvalu''s sustainable energy aspirations

From solar rooftops and the Off-grid sola-powered Capacitive Deionisation (CDI) systems to the pioneering floating solar PV with 100kW. innovative solutions like floating solar panels (a first for the PICs) and raised solar installations are being embraced in Tuvalu as the Pacific grapples with addressing the challenge of limited land space.

Tuvalu floats clean energy option

At the end of Funafuti International Airport''s runway 21, a small roadway juts into the lagoon, making a path towards a pontoon of floating solar panels. About 2% of the atoll''s annual power needs will be harnessed with this clean energy solution funded by the Asian Development Bank.
