The Asian Development Bank, Saudi Fund for Development, and Solomon Power are all financing the project. A project is now underway on the Solomon Islands to help the country accelerate its renewable energy generation.
The project will finance new solar farms in Guadalcanal and Malaita province, along with a utility-scale grid-connected energy storage system in Honiara. Nearly all of Solomon Islands' grid power is diesel generated. Solar hybrid project 2017 at Taro. Image credit Solomon Power
