Environmental Impact Assessment of Proposed Solar Photovoltaic Project at 'Eua

The 'Eua Solar Photovoltaic Plant project provides a system with 200 kWp nominal power consisting of photovoltaic (PV) modules, mounting structures, foundations for the mounting structures, PV grid inverter, distribution boxes, grounding, fuses, connections and monitoring device according to the existing interfaces and conditions. The system will have a power control unit that controls the generated PV power to realise a maximum reduction in fuel consumption of existing diesel generation sets. The control unit will ensure that diesel power is generated in relation to actual demand.
