Sao Tome and Principe to Solomon Islands: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Sao Tome and Principe to Solomon Islands? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Sao Tome and Principe uses Type C and F plugs, while Solomon Islands uses Type G and I. Since there is no overlap, you will need a travel adapter to plug in your devices. Make sure to pick one up before your trip or at the airport.

The voltage and frequency in Solomon Islands (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Sao Tome and Principe (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Solomon Islands hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Sao Tome and Principe uses Type C/F plugs and Solomon Islands uses Type G/I. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
