Uluinakorovatu Primary School is at Naceva on Beqa Island. It has 76 students from kindergarten to Year 8, taught by 5 teachers.

Before solar, the school had a small solar system wired only to the office and one classroom, topped up by a small generator. The 5 kW system we installed in 2023 powers all the school buildings and five teachers' homes, all newly wired so the power is delivered safely. The old system was set aside to power a freezer for the community.

A donor also gave the school a new LED data projector and 20 kg of library books on sustainability.
