The government of Seychelles has commissioned a real estate project that will provide 700 transit houses with solar energy for people affected by disasters.
The government has installed a three kW unit on the roofs of three-bedroom homes; two-bedroom homes will have a two kW unit while one-bedroom homes will have one kW.
The 700 unit solar-powered housing project, located in Grand Anse, one of the islands of the archipelago, was funded by the Seychelles State, with the support of the Indian government which issued out a USD 3.5 million grant.
Public Utilities Corporation will also install photovoltaic systems on low-cost houses. In addition, the company will install a one MW unit on Romainville Island for use in eligible homes under the project.
