Funding support from the PECF Project for Solomon Islands is to expand rural electrification to 2,000 new unelectrified households in eight provinces around Solomon Islands through the provision of Solar Home Systems that will involve the installation of three lights in each house and with the capacity to provide power for small electric items such as charging of mobile phones.
