Maldives microgrid project with floating solar becomes model for island renewables projects

With a 2 MWp floating solar PV plant and a 3 MWh battery storage system, the Soneva Secret resort project will result in 900,000 to 1,000,000 liters of diesel savings per year, leading to 2,000 plus tons of CO2 emissions reduction.Generating power on islands typically involves use of diesel gensets.
