Niue

• one of the smallest villages to the western site of Nuku’alofa

• about 51 households and 320 population (1996 Census)

• Solar Pump installed in 2007 – Japan funded

Hybrid Solar water pump with diesel engine

Main System Components

• 8 solar panels (2 arrays)

• 1 Controller

• 1 Submersible Pump

• 3 water tanks

• 1 backup diesel engine

Benefits & Advantages

•Lakepa Water Committee collected 60% more revenue

since they start using solar and 80% less expenses

(Mainly administration cost for the committee activities)

•The town officer happily reported since June 2007 they

still using their second drum of diesel, they do not know

much about solar but definitely using solar make a very

much different
