4 FAQs about Nauru s new solar panels

Will Nauru install a solar power plant?

Nauru has embarked on an ambitious project to install a grid-connected solar power plant with a capacity of 6 megawatts (MW) of alternating current. This initiative is part of the Solar Power Development Project, which aims to diversify the energy mix and reduce reliance on diesel.

Can solar photovoltaics be used as an energy source on Nauru?

While Nauru is currently 100% electrified by grid-distributed power, the government has considered and continues to explore the use of solar photovoltaics as an energy source. This interest was first indicated at the 1995 South Pacific Forum Meeting.

Are there solar hot water systems on Nauru?

There are only a small number of solar hot-water systems on the island, most of which are in need of substantial maintenance. Solar photovoltaics have not been used as an energy source on Nauru as the island is 100% electrified by grid-distributed power.
