The photovoltaic generator is composed by the solar PV array of 504 modules. The produced electricity is stored in a large stationary lead acid battery of 2X59 elements. In the power control room, the battery control unit (BCU) regulates the charge of the battery and the inverter manage the discharge for the load and convert DC to AC current.

--Average power for the PV modules is 90Wp/module.
--The stationary lead acid battery with positive tubular plate has a nominal capacity of 3720Ah and is composed of 2 parallel strings of 59 elements. Each element has a nominal capacity of 1860Ah which means 186A in 10 hours if discharge voltage limit is 1.80V.
--The BCU is a modular assembly of electronic circuit board units, shunting parts of the array. Each of them is rated to receive a maximum input current of 25A from the PV array, which corresponds to the shot circuit current of 4 parallel strings of panel.
--Two parallel inverters, each of 12.5kVA, are installed where one inverter is operating at lower level of load and the second one can be started only when the load is higher than 10kVA.
--Public lighting circuit has an automatic clock circuit breaker system.
--Public facilities including the 280 households has one circuit breakers.

How To Get To The Island:

From the City of Cebu, ride a jeep or air-con v-hire to Opon (Lapu-Lapu City) Public Market. Ride a tricycle to Marigondon Beach (Parker's Beach). Motorized banca is available to Pangan-an Island. Difficulty in accessing the island during the low tides.
Cebu City is accessible from all parts of the country by plane, boat or bus.
