Three clinics in Malaita Province are now benefiting from newly installed hybrid solar systems, improving healthcare services—especially at night.
Ever Exceed Company has installed 5kW hybrid solar systems at the clinics under a project funded by Peak International and supported by UNICEF Solomon Islands.
An electrician with Ever Exceed, Devincia Mamupio, said the project covers seven clinics across the province.
He said the clinics include Lesiala, Kwadinari, Sinamauri, Rafufu, Malu’u Area Health Centre, Kwailabesi and Ata’a.
“So far, we have completed installations at three clinics—Sinamauri, Rafufu and Malu’u—and we are yet to complete the remaining four,” he said.
Mamupio said the solar system installed at Sinamauri Clinic in West Kwaio will provide reliable lighting, particularly at night.
“This solar system will help provide lights at the clinic for sick patients,” he said.
Chairman of the Sinamauri Clinic Board, Tom Siru, thanked partners for supporting the project.
“I would like to thank Peak International for funding this project, UNICEF for selecting our clinic, and Ever Exceed staff for successfully installing the system,” he said.
He added that the solar system will greatly improve services for patients and surrounding communities.
Mamupio also acknowledged local communities for their support and cooperation during the installation work.
