VSL Goes Solar Power 2024

Yes, we are continuing to re-invest in our eco-friendly lodge at Vanimo and have installed a Solar Power system to supply clean energy to the lodge and only use generator power as a backup. the PNGTPA have thankfully assisted financially with this great improvement to out power supply. Power is supplied everyday using a combination of generator and solar power. The Generator is mainly used when there is little sun charging available. A Typical day sees the generator on from 7am until 9am then we switchover to solar battery power until 5pm then the generator runs from 5pm until 7pm followed by solar battery power again until at least 10pm. Guests are provided with battery rechargeable fans by their bedside tables. It is the guest responsibility to recharge the fans every 1-2 days.
