The sun shines every day, and each day the solar energy that reaches Earth is greater than all of the fossil energy that civilization has have ever drilled or mined from the earth’s crust.
Photovoltaic panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it to electrical energy for use in any application including remote power (lighting, pumping, communications), household power, or utility power. Today more than 7,000 megawatts of solar power are installed globally and the growth rate is increasing rapidly.
Solar photovoltaic energy is silent and pollution free and the technology has one of the best warranties in any industry – 25 years of guaranteed power production. New panels are now able to be integrated directly into the roof skin or curtain wall of a building – enabling aesthetically pleasing, low-maintenance installations.
The same reason that attracts so many visitors each year to the greater Caribbean is also a prime source for renewable power – sun. Solar energy is one of several best options for replacing high-cost diesel power in island settings. On average, islands in the Caribbean receive between 4 and 6 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day in solar radiation. This is significantly higher than the areas where solar electricity is seeing the greatest growth, which means there is strong potential to utilize this technology in your project.
Cape Systems and its partners have designed and installed the largest solar electric systems in The Bahamas and also the first grid-connected renewable power systems, which are able to feed excess daytime production back to the utility. We offer full service system design, specification and sales for residential and commercial systems both on and off of the grid.
