Solar 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.
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.
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.
By harnessing the abundant solar resources of the region, this project aligns with Fiji’s national target of achieving 100% renewable electricity and its international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, thus improving living standards, health outcomes, job creation, climate resilience and food security.
Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) has installed 25 solar streetlights in Nailaga Village in Ba (FRA 2018). This is the first solar streetlight project undertaken by FRA. In addition, Fiji Department of Energy funded the installation of solar lights on jetties at several remote locations (Valemei 2014). EFL has solar PV development plans for the future.
