Contact UsSolar photovoltaic (solar PV) systems are gaining popularity globally and likewise for Fiji. Globally, the price of solar PV has dramatically decreased over the last decade, resulting in an increase in new solar PV installation for electricity generation. Fiji's solar PV generation on grid was nil before 2010.
Fiji is a small island developing state and its numerous geographically dispersed islands present unique challenges for 100% electrification. Solar PV can help establish distributed systems to provide electricity to un/underserved population.
Solar PV has many advantages such as it has no moving parts and therefore does not require extensive operation and maintenance; solar resource is free and abundant at most locations in Fiji. For Fiji, the current installation cost of rooftop solar PV grid connected system is around 3100–3500 FJD/kW.
In total, around 4 MW of solar PV is installed with some grid-connected solar systems planned and many off-grid solar system planned by Fiji Department of Energy with funding from Fijian government and overseas donor agencies.
Fiji is an agricultural based country that produces a variety of vegetables and fruits which could be preserved. Solar thermal energy could play an important role to achieve this goal.
EFL has planned for 5 MW solar power plant in Nadi, Fiji. This would require approximately 33,000 m 2 of land area and using Eq. 8.1, its generation potential is estimated to be around 9 GWh/annum. However, for diversifying Fiji's electricity supply sources, further capacity addition is needed for solar PV supported by wind and biomass.
