Battery banks for solar panels Cuba

Large consumers in the residential sector could find in the installation of solar panels a way to offset the amount of their energy bill through cogeneration for self-consumption or receive a payment for injecting clean energy into the national power grid.

The Cuban Electricity Union (UNE) specified that an average household on the island needs around 185 kWh per month. To cover these needs, 5 solar panels of 260 watts are necessary. The importation of tax-free solar panels was in high demand by those who are eager to supply their own electricity, an increasingly precarious good on the Island. Amidst an unprecedented energy crisis, the Cuban government has unveiled an ambitious plan aiming to produce nearly 600 MW of solar photovoltaic energy by the first half of 2025. This announcement was made on Tuesday during a session of the Industry, Construction, and Energy Commission of the . Cuba authorized this Wednesday the non-commercial import of photovoltaic systems, their parts and pieces, free of customs duties, by individuals. The regulation aims to increase the participation of individuals in the electric power generation matrix, to advance in the development of renewable energy sources in Cuba, the source indicates. The opportunity now for individuals to import their own photovoltaic systems to Cuba, may change this situation. With just 20,000 solar water heaters and a million kWh every day of energy installed in its photovoltaic parks, Cuba is basically wasting the vast majority of the solar energy it has available.
