Solomon Islands

The JICA Team recommended that the power supply plan, as shown in Table 10-5-1, shall be implemented as an optimum power supply plan for the Solomon Islands. 

Also it is recommended that the rural electrification plan by SHS, as shown in Table 10-3-12, shall be implemented as an effective electrification plan for remote rural areas in order to disseminate SHS programs and rural electrification.

The training of the provincial government engineers and the community people who will be in charge of the photovoltaic (PV) system maintenance is necessary in order to raise villager's awareness and understanding and to strengthen the dissemination of PV.  Thus, the establishment of a PV training center (in REAC), for theory and practice training on PV systems, is recommended.
