2018 Projects

INSTALLATION OF THE LARGEST SOLAR AND WIND POWERED R.O. PLANT IN RMI, OFF-GRID, ENEWETAK ATOLL, MARSHALL ISLANDS, MARCH 2018

Moana Marine designed and installed a fully off-grid hybrid solar and wind powered reverse osmosis watermaking system for the people of Enewetak Atoll. This project delivers reliable, clean drinking water to a remote community that has lived for decades with the legacy of nuclear testing, rising sea levels and intensifying drought.

The system combines a large solar array, wind turbine, advanced battery storage and high-efficiency Spectra watermakers to provide energy-secure drinking water independent of fossil fuels. The Enewetak project serves as a model for resilient, renewable-powered water infrastructure that can be replicated across vulnerable atolls worldwide.

2017 Projects

Prepared two Spectra LB-2800 units and a Moana Hybrid Solar/Wind mini-grid for Enewetak; supplied IOM with new portable Aquifer-360 units with Moana Solar Power Packs for rapid drought relief; coordinated maintenance and rapid-deployment readiness for 72 Aquifer-360 units across Majuro.

2015–2016 Projects

Installed a Spectra LB-800 plant on Ailuk Atoll powered by a Moana Solar Mini-Grid (and energized the airport terminal); delivered Ebon Atoll’s first Moana Solar Mini-Grid powering the Community Center; deployed Aquifer-360 units to Palau and across the Marshall Islands for emergency drought relief; hosted UNDP and RMI leadership at Utrik to review our successful solar-wind RO model.
