This article describes the design and installation of a photovoltaic power supply for a remote orangutan research station in the rain forest in Borneo. The unique needs of the station, including the problems created by noisy equipment and the transport of fuel offering potential for severe damage, are discussed, along with the design of the system, a community based system for the camp that would not only compensate for shadowing loss due to a chain link cage and meet the daily load, but would provide up to 20 days of energy if loads were managed properly.
