The New Zealand government provided NZ$7 million (US$5.8 million) to help finance the project though the full cost of the systems was NZ$8.5 million.

Investment in a 1 MW solar power plant in India is a serious step towards energy independence and sustainability. Although its initial investment is a bit on the higher side, long-term benefits in terms of savings
The South Pacific nation of Tokelau became the first country in the world to have all of its electricity needs met by solar power. Designed by Powersmart Solar in partnership with ITP Renewables, construction of the combined 1 MW of
What is the Price of a 5kW On-grid Solar System? Solar System Cost (in Rs.) 5kW Solar System with Battery (Off Grid) ₹4,50,000/- 5kW Solar System with Subsidy (On Grid) ₹2,75,000/- 5kW Hybrid Solar System
The Kingdom of Tonga switched on its own maiden solar plant at the end of last month – another New Zealand-funded project that, along with the plant at Tokelau''s Fakaofo atoll, are set to be
Installation is often easier and faster with a small-capacity solar system like a 3kW unit. Most solar vendors that sell solar photovoltaic panels (PV modules) and other components also provide installation services, and the
RES: 1MW off-grid solar energy system across three main atolls of Tokelau. The project includes : 4032 solar modules, 196 string inverters, 112 DC charge controllers, 84 battery inverters and 1344 batteries in 48V banks.
It was the birth of Tokelau''s ambitious ''Renewable Energy Project'', which would see Tokelau become the first nation on earth to be almost 100 percent powered by solar energy and reduce
(SeeNews) - Nov 7, 2012 - The atolls of Tokelau in the South Pacific became the first territory in the world to meet almost all of its power demand with solar power via a NZD-8.5-million (USD
The Kingdom of Tonga switched on its own maiden solar plant at the end of last month – another New Zealand-funded project that, along with the plant at Tokelau''s Fakaofo atoll, are set to be
Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy. The renewable energy system comprising of solar panels, storage batteries and generators running on biofuel derived from coconut will generate enough electricity to meet 150% of the islands’ power demand.
Each system alone is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world, and together they are capable of providing 150% of current electricity demand in Tokelau, a much higher amount than the 90% that was originally planned for.
Solar power plants and coconut biofuel-powered generators switched on in Tokelau has made the islands the world’s first truly renewable nation.’ Imagine a place where the only energy to be found is clean, reliable solar power. Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy.
Yet despite the challenges involved in installing comprehensive solar systems in such a remote location, switching to solar was absolutely crucial for the tiny collection of islands. "Tokelau’s atolls are low-lying and especially susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change," Mayhew stressed.
Tokelau is made up of three small atolls, Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo, has an area of around 10km² and is populated by 1,411 New Zealand citizens, all of whom now have their energy needs met by solar electricity systems. "Each system alone is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world."
Before the PowerSmart systems were installed on the nation’s three atolls, Tokelau was highly dependent on imported fossil fuels to meet its energy needs and therefore vulnerable to international price fluctuations and increasing fuel costs, making electricity extremely expensive for both households and businesses.
