Majuro Cooperative School undertook an innovative Solar project in 2021 with 4 outcomes:
1) Supply and installation of a 5.6kW Solar system to power 4x 18,000BTU Solar Hybrid Air Conditioner units for Classrooms at Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2.
2) Supply and installation of a Solar Water Desalination unit with a capacity of 125L per day, sufficient for around 65 students per day.
3) Supply and installation of a Solar water pumping solution to provide a reliable source of water for restrooms even in cases of power outages.
4) Retrofitting classroom lighting to LED ceiling lights.

Majuro Cooperative School received a United Nations Development Program grant to implement a solar project aimed at solving several of the school''s needs, including reducing its power bill.
"With aims of cost-cutting we are proceeding with converting the first elementary block completely to solar power with MEC lines as a backup," said Majuro Cooperative middle and high school Principal Kenneth Fernando. "All four classrooms including lights, outlets, fans and air conditioners will be powered by the solar system. In addition to the classrooms, the restroom pumps will also be powered by solar to have continued facility services during power outages."
The project is being implemented in three stages. Staff and board members got together earlier this month to break ground for the launch of phase one.
Part of the phase one system is a desalination system which can produce clean drinking water, said Fernando. "Our staff will have access to water foregoing the need to purchase water," he said. "This will also assist in times of drought so we are certain our staff will still have access to clean water just outside their apartments." The desalination unit will also provide water for the high school classroom water dispensers and Coop sports events held at the gymnasium.
The school''s classrooms are all air conditioned, which has brought their energy bill up to around $30,000 per year. In addition, the school does not have an internal source of safe drinking water, and students sometimes have to be sent home during power outages due to a lack of water supply to the bathrooms.
The solar project will not only reduce the school''s energy bills drastically for the four elementary classrooms, but will also reduce the school''s carbon footprint, and provide a reliable drinking water and water pumping solution for the school.
The school is partnering with Green Energy Solutions, a local solar and energy efficiency company, on the design and installation of the solar plan.
This initial phase has three components:• Solar hybrid 18,000btu air conditioners that will be powered by solar panels now being installed on the elementary building roof. This is expected to reduce the energy cost for these classrooms by close to 80 percent.• Solar water desalination system that produces 30 gallons of drinking water daily.• Solar water pump for bathrooms to reduce power use and ensure water flows during power outages.

High quality Standalone systems with quality deep cycle solar batteries and reputable, reliable, and efficient inverters and components.
Grid-tied systems also possible (if approved by local utility company) for applications that do not require battery systems.
Designed for atoll environments requiring robust materials and maintenance-free operation. Once installed, these systems can produce drinking water continuously without any human intervention for years. Tested and works well in the Pacific (e.g Kiribati, Fiji and now also at Majuro Coop School!)
An environmentally-friendly asphalt-alternative polymer that can be used for outer island airports and roads. Unlike other polymers that require potable water and cement, Aggrebind does not require cement and can be mixed using salt water – a sustainable solution for any outer island civil works project. It is also used as a soil and subbase stabilizer.
AggreCoat Silver is an ionic surface sealer that uses Silver particles to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 from surfaces. Lab tests show 95% reduction in the SARS-CoV-2 virus within 24 hours. Read more about aggrecoat silver. Trialed implementation at the College of the Marshall Islands (CMI).
