Unlikely international partnership could bring major energy breakthrough — and help address a global crisis
Palau, Tuvalu, and the Marshall Islands are getting greener with a massive new solar energy installation, according to SolarQuarter. Taiwan-based Billion Electric has rolled out a 495 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar panel project and 1,997 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of battery storage across the Pacific Islands while maintaining diesel as a backup source. Should we be harnessing the ocean to power our homes? Absolutely Leave it be It depends I'm not sure Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Billion Electric has estimated that this will reduce carbon emissions by 800 metric tons (about 882 tons) annually. It also says local aquaculture centers and demonstration farms will show 50% renewable energy self-sufficiency. Livestock farms, offices, and dormitories on the islands are now relying entirely on sustainable energy, according to the manufacturer. The Pacific Islands are at particular risk of sea level rise, putting them on the front line of the climate crisis. Solar negates the need to rely on polluting dirty fuels to keep grids running. Burning those fuels is one of the big reasons for temperatures increasing and sea levels rising, and small nations like Tuvalu are rapidly losing land as a result. Besides sustainability, solar is also among the most affordable energy sources available. Transitioning to eco-friendly electrical grids can't happen if the budgets don't make sense. It's great to see large-scale solar installed anywhere in order to help combat these challenges. The Pacific Islands aren't significant polluters in the grand scheme of things, however. More solar power in the United States puts a bigger dent into the challenge. Commercial giants like Meta are making big investments, which helps push the needle in the right direction. China and India are making big strides in solar deployments as well. "We develop flexible and scalable microgrid solutions for diverse applications, enabling the energy transition in off-grid and remote regions," said Billion Electric Group president and CEO Tim Chen in a statement. "By fostering local service teams and forming global partnerships, we ensure system reliability, accelerate green energy adoption, and enhance grid resilience."

Billion Electric Group Delivers 100% Green Energy to Pacific Islands with Smart Solar-Storage Microgrids
KOROR, Palau, Feb. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Billion Electric Group (TWSE: 3027), in collaboration with Taiwanese partners, has successfully deployed 495 kWp of solar PV and 1,997 kWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Palau, Tuvalu, and the Marshall Islands. These modular microgrids reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, ensuring stable green energy supply for agriculture, aquaculture, and local communities. The project is expected to cut carbon emissions by 800 metric tons annually, with over 50% renewable energy self-sufficiency at aquaculture centers and demonstration farms. Meanwhile, livestock farms, offices, and dormitories now operate on 100% green energy, significantly lowering both energy costs and environmental impact. Advanced Smart Energy Solutions with Full-Scale Integration Billion Electric Group provides end-to-end energy solutions, from R&D and manufacturing to system integration and deployment. The project features MIT (Made In Taiwan) renewable energy technologies, including Billion's Fusio series BESS, Giga series PV inverters, and an AI-driven EMS (Energy Management System). The system enables real-time power optimization, bidirectional energy transmission, and cloud-based monitoring platform, significantly enhancing grid stability and energy efficiency. It prioritizes solar power utilization and incorporates black start capability, allowing diesel generators to restart autonomously in the event of power grid failures. Global Expansion to Drive Energy Transition Billion Electric Group has established operations in Japan and Australia and plans to deploy 50 MW of energy storage systems while expanding into Southeast Asia and the Middle East. "We develop flexible and scalable microgrid solutions for diverse applications, enabling the energy transition in off-grid and remote regions. By fostering local service teams and forming global partnerships, we ensure system reliability, accelerate green energy adoption, and enhance grid resilience." said Tim Chen, President & CEO of Billion Electric Group.
