Villa Hotels & Resorts have announced that Sun Island and Paradise Island, 2 of the brand’s resorts, have launched rooftop solar panel installations to lessen their carbon impact while generating clean and renewable energy.
The solar panels were installed by Swimsol Maldives, a global leader in offshore photovoltaics with more than 22 years of experience in the European solar industry.
Daniel Reinhardt, Sales, and Partner Support Manager of Swimsol, said that “Swimsol is very happy and proud to have installed it’s to date largest solar systems at Sun and Paradise Island, which will jointly save more than 1 million liters of diesel and 2,600 tons of carbon dioxide each year.”
The PV (photovoltaic) system installed at the eco-luxury Sun Island Resort has a capacity of 1,122kWp with a grid of over 2,400 panels. The solar panels will supply the resort with power and reduce annual diesel consumption by 411,077 liters and carbon dioxide by 1085 tons annually, which is the equivalent of the emissions of 868 flights from Male’ to London. The substantial amount of energy generated is sufficient to power 135 villas across the resort daily.

Assisted by a buffer battery and a special control system, it supplies the resort with a significant amount of energy to power over 150 villas across the resort. Swimsol includes maintenance and management of the PV system as well as continuous optimization to ensure system performance.
