Abstract

Features a 40 kW grid-connected PV system on top of the roof of the spectators’ sitting area in the football stadium, representing 5% of Funafuti’s peak demand. The project has reduced the risks of diesel spills near the archipelago and Tuvalu’s carbon emissions by 50 tonnes per year, reducing Tuvalu’s fuel consumption by roughly 16,000 litres.
