Solar powered chillers Pitcairn Islands

Can solar energy replace fossil fuels on Pitcairn Island?

Pitcairn’s authorities have launched a renewable energy project designed to replace fossil fuels with solar energy. The goal is to replace 95% of the current diesel consumption on Pitcairn Island (75,000 liters per year) with a combination of energy saving and solar electricity through the installation of a hybrid photovoltaic solar energy system.

Are chiltrix chillers a good choice for a solar PV installation?

The Chiltrix chillers are ideal for a solar PV powered installation whether grid-tied or off-grid. While the chiller needs AC power and therefore must connect to the solar energy source (or batteries) via an inverter, the Chiltrix unit is the best possible choice for this type of application.

Are the Pitcairn Islands Green?

Pitcairn Islands, a group of five islands with a total area of 47 km2 and which constitute one of the most remote archipelagos in the world, turn to safer, greener energies that best meet the needs of the population. Pitcairn’s authorities have launched a renewable energy project designed to replace fossil fuels with solar energy.

Is chiltrix a good choice for solar?

The ultra-low power needed for running the Chiltrix chiller makes it your best choice for solar because it can operate with fewer installed panels and/or batteries, reducing the solar budget and rooftop footprint that would be needed to operate a less efficient air conditioning or heating system.

Can solar panels help reduce wind lulls in Samoa?

Both solutions could be installed to improve resilience, e.g. the 550 kW Wind Turbine (2 x 275 kW) site below in Samoa could easily have Solar PV panels installed on the same site to help provide electrical power in cases of wind lulls.
