MASDAR VANUATU

---

The PV Grid Connect system, designed and installed by Sunergise’s EPC partner Clay Energy, was developed to subsidize the national grid and reduce fuel costs associated with the diesel generators which provide the majority of Vanuatu’s energy. Three separate sites were commissioned (1 x 330kW, 1 x 122kW, 1 x 315kW), one of which utilized the solar arrays to provide a shaded car park for 112 cars, and together supply up to 6% of the noon-demand.

Since installation, these sites have provided significant environmental and economic benefits to Vanuatu. Some of these benefits include:

•

324,573 liters of diesel fuel saved each year.

•

896 tons of CO2 emissions avoided each year.

•

Direct savings of USD$378,085 on reduced diesel reliance
