In 2007, Tuvalu was getting 2% of its energy from solar, through 400 small systems managed by the Tuvalu Solar Electric Co-operative Society. These were installed beginning in 1984 and, in the late 1990s, 34% of families in the outer islands had a PV system (which generally powered 1-3 lights and perhaps a few hours a day of radio use). Each of the eight islands had a medical cente.

Solar PV has been in use in Fiji for almost three decades. One of the first use of solar PV was in solar home system (SHS) that provided electricity to power basic appliances in rural households where grid electricity was not reachable. Currently, there are two types of SHS installed in Fijian homes. Type I SHS has two 50 W solar. .
There are a number of island resorts in Fiji, which have over the past decade installed solar PV systems with battery storage for supplying electricity with diesel generators as back-up.. .
Solar PV also supplies electricity to nursing stations that are in remote areas not connected to national grid. There are a total of approximately. .
A mini-grid comprises of solar PV modules with inverter plus battery storage and diesel generators as back-up (Fig. 8.3). In addition to SHS for households, the use of such solar PV mini-grids. .
A total of 3.6 MW of grid connected solar PV is installed on Viti Levu (in 2018) (see Table 8.2). All these systems have been installed by Clay Energy.
