4 FAQs about Requirements for solar energy systems in buildings in Papua New Guinea

Can decentralized solar energy help Papua New Guinea's Electrification Expansion?

By addressing the structural weaknesses currently inhibiting solar uptake with a focus on regulation, finance, and technical capacity the model offers a practical framework for accelerating decentralized energy access in PNG. Decentralized solar energy presents a viable path for Papua New Guinea’s electrification expansion.

Is solar equipment certified in PNG?

There is currently no mandatory certification for solar equipment. Even for reputable systems, PNG's tropical climate (high humidity, heavy rainfall, heat) can stress equipment. Poorly sealed electronics can suffer water damage, and batteries may degrade faster in high heat.

Is decentralized solar power a viable solution for PNG?

While the PNG government aims for 70% electrification by 2030 (World Bank, 2024b), extending the central grid to remote regions is prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging.2 Decentralized solar power offers a promising solution.

What are the requirements for rooftop solar PV systems?

2.2.6 Rooftop Solar PV Systems must include an on-line monitoring system, installed by the customer, which at the minimum should measure at five-minute intervals or shorter and store (a) AC terminal voltage (in V); (b) AC Current (in A), (c) AC power (in kW), (d) AC power (in kVA), and (e) power factor.
