Travel adapter from Philippines to Solomon Islands

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Philippines, you will need a travel adapter for Solomon Islands. Philippines uses Type A/Type B/Type C plugs, and Solomon Islands uses Type I, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
