How can Etech solar help Vanuatu?

The sun is a powerful source of renewable energy. We can harness that energy to create a sustainable future in Vanuatu and the world. eTech Solar is accelerating the adoption of quality yet affordable solar technology across Vanuatu to conserve our environment and provide an environmentally friendly and sustainable power supply.

How can Vanuatu benefit from solar power?

With this project, 17,000 households throughout Vanuatu will be supported to access non grid, renewable electricity through solar. With low population densities and large distances between communities, a key challenge for the project has been providing access to electricity in a way that is cost effective and efficient.

How much does electricity cost in Vanuatu?

The country's population of around 599,000 suffer from frequent power outages and very expensive electricity costs. Diesel power is the most type of energy used in the country, which results in costs as high as one US dollar per kilowatt hour. In the Soloman Island's distant neighbor of Vanuatu, things are not much better.
