Swimsol Solar Panel Installation Heralds New Dawn for Perpetual Clean Energy
In partnership with the Maldives’ leading solar energy provider, Swimsol, a total of 1937kWp of additional solar panels will become operational in October this year. 1MWp of panels will be located on a land bank on the East of the island, with a further 937kWp to be installed on the rooftops of all the resort’s beach villas and F&B outlets, as well as the FLOW Spa, dive centre, Portico, kids club, and back-of-house buildings. An additional 2MWh of battery capacity will also be added, enabling the property to rely solely on solar energy during daylight hours.
Coral Conservation & Ghost Net Projects
Patina Maldives is dedicated to preserving marine biodiversity through extensive coral conservation efforts. By introducing coral ceramics workshops for special needs children, the resort has fostered a unique blend of education and environmental stewardship. These workshops, in collaboration with local NGOs, have empowered young minds to contribute to conservation efforts, creating lasting impacts on both the community and the environment. Additionally, ongoing coral planting initiatives continue to enhance the marine ecosystem, promoting the health and diversity of coral reefs around the island.
The resort’s ghost net projects address the critical issue of oceanic plastic pollution. By collecting and repurposing ghost nets into bracelets gifted to guests, Patina Maldives raises awareness about the dangers of plastic waste and encourages collective action to protect our oceans. These initiatives are more than just environmental efforts; they represent the resort’s commitment to nurturing a sustainable future and inspiring others to join in making a difference.
Resort Build and Engineering
From its inception, the Fari Islands’ development has been guided by sustainable architecture and design. It is the largest hospitality project globally to benefit from the extensive use of offsite manufacturing technology known as ‘Mass Engineered Timber’ or ’MET’, which reduced carbon emissions by over 6,000 tons after production and transportation; in addition, all the villas were prefabricated, to ensure minimal run off into the marine ecosystem Departing from the con-ventional thatched roof structures prevalent in the Maldives, villas and amenities were designed with flat roofs, allowing solar panels to be easily mounted. This allows the Fari Islands to host one of the latest largest solar installations in the Maldives.
