Travel adapter from Barbados to Solomon Islands

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Barbados, you will need a travel adapter for Solomon Islands. Barbados uses Type A/Type B plugs, and Solomon Islands uses Type I, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. Voltages differ (115 V at home vs 230 V abroad), so check the label on each device. Most modern dual-voltage chargers handle the swing without a converter, but heating appliances usually do not.
