Samoa High Temperature Solar System

What is solar for Samoa?

The Solar for Samoa project set the benchmark for quality solar power projects in the South Pacific. The two sites will provide up to 27% of the network power during peak output. MPower has successfully delivered a wide range of renewable and conventional power systems across the region.

Does Samoa have a solar power station?

MPower was awarded a contract to deliver a fully operational 5.0MW solar power station across two sites in Samoa. The first site at Faleolo International airport has a 3MWp solar PV ground mount system. The second site at Faleata Race Track has a 2MWp solar PV group mount system.

How warm is Samoa?

ggested by different climate models. In a 2°C warmer world, Samoa is projected to be a little less than this global average: 1.3 to 1.9°C warmer compared to the pre-industrial baseline (or 0.7 to 1.2°C from the 1986-2005 baseline). The ratio is similar for other warming levels, shown by th bars below

How hot will Samoa be in 2090?

Historical and projected temperatureFor Samoa, a projected average warming of around 0.6°C (0.4 to 1.1°C uncertainty range) from the 1986-2005 period out to 2020-2039 under all emissions pathway was reported (BoM and CSIRO, 2014). By 2090, Samoa is projected to warm by 2.0 to 4.0°C for very high emissions (RCP8.5) and 0.3 to 1.
