St. Peter Chanel Primary School is in Nuku, in the interior of Viti Levu, with 101 students and 4 teachers.

Our 2026 installation gave the school an 11 kW solar array and 39.6 kWh of battery storage, with power around the clock for the classrooms and teachers' homes. The school also received Starlink internet, laptops and smart TVs.

The school was funded through the Australian Government's REnew Pacific program. The system is part of The Solar Fund (Fiji), which monitors it and pays for its servicing and repairs, so it keeps working long after the installers have gone.
