Solar Power At Veligandu

Veligandu now hosts one of the Maldives’ largest solar energy systems, cutting its diesel use significantly. Once fully powered by generators and over a million liters of diesel annually, the resort is transitioning to solar to meet energy needs sustainably—without compromising luxury or the environment. This project reflects Veligandu’s long-standing commitment to green living.

Harnessing Solar Power for a Brighter Future

With an impressive 1,441 kWp solar capacity and 1,668 kWh of battery storage, Veligandu’s new energy infrastructure will allow the island to run on solar alone for up to nine hours a day. This is equal to approximately 2.054 million kWh of energy and the annualcarbon sequestration of 69,916 trees.

In collaboration with SwimSol, the Maldives’ solar energy leader, Veligandu takes another leap forward in environmental stewardship,reducing reliance on diesel and reshaping its energy story with the power of the sun.

Efficient Energy Management

Our intelligent energy system ensures seamless power flow, with batteries charged each morning and smart communication between the battery and generator controllers. This allows for a near-silent transition to backup power when needed and maximizes the use of solar energy with minimal loss—proof that innovation can work in harmony with paradise.

3,003 Solar Panels

The phased solar journey began in November 2024 with 760 kWp installed atop the Sunset Ocean Pool Villas and continued in March 2025 with 556 kWp added across operational buildings. The employee accommodation island Velifinolhu, was followed by another 125 kWp.

A Greener Tomorrow

At Veligandu Maldives, sustainability is more than a commitment, it’s a way of life. Our solar project is a proud milestone on the path to a cleaner future, one where luxury and environmental care walk hand in hand.
