The Salamon Group and DayStar Technologies are working under a contract with the Samoan government in order to bring renewable energy to the forefront in the island nation. Sunlogics Power, a division of Salamon Group, and DayStar’s Eco Energy Solutions along with the government and Electrical Power Corporation (EPC) have been working to get Samoa’s first private power generating license to start the companies mandate in the country.

Samoa is making a strong push to become one of the South Pacific’s most “solarized” nations by reducing carbon emissions with a 4MW solar plant, which will be introduced this year. The first phase of the project is funded, in whole, by a private investment.

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, said, "This transaction creates significant sustainable value for our country. Samoa is committed to reducing our carbon footprint. The Government of Samoa is a committed global partner in carbon emission reductions. The structure created by Mr. Matvieshen (of Sunlogics) and Mr. Yost (CEO of Eco ventures), with the approval and great assistance of their local partners and the various Government Departments, in Samoa is excellent and a win for all stakeholders. We are enthusiastically looking forward to working together with the Sunlogics team."

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
