Fiji wind and solar energy storage power station
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. There are a number of island resorts in Fiji, which have over the past decade installed solar PV systems with battery storage for supplying electricity with diesel. A mini-grid comprises of solar PV modules with inverter plus battery storage and diesel generators as back-up (Fig. 8.3). In addition to SHS for households, the. Solar PV also supplies electricity to nursing stations that are in remote areas not connected to national grid. There are a total of approximately 13 kW of solar PV. A total of 3.6 MW of grid connected solar PV is installed on Viti Levu (in 2018) (see Table 8.2). All these systems have been installed by Clay Energy and.
