6 FAQs about [Barbados soular power]
Is Barbados a leader in solar energy?
Barbados continues to maintain a leadership position in solar energy within the Caribbean. Building on a successful Renewable Energy Rider program which has seen 9MW of distributed solar PV installed, the electricity market has finally opened up to independent power producers (IPPs) to develop utility scale solar projects.
Are Barbadians aware of solar energy usage & benefits?
Barbadians are aware of solar energy usage and benefits. Over the past few years, solar electricity systems have decreased dramatically in cost and more systems have been installed. As a result, the awareness level of Barbadians regarding solar energy has increased. In 2001, the installed capacity of solar PV in Barbados was 37 kW . Below is a list of the largest of these systems at that time:
What is the installed solar PV capacity in Barbados?
The total installed solar PV capacity in Barbados is about 22MW (12MW RER + 10MW utility).
Does Barbados use solar panels?
Solar panels are seen more and more frequently across Barbados. Similar to the ubiquitous solar water heater on Barbadian rooftops, the Government of Barbados is fully committed to the idea of renewable energy and solar PV, thereby preparing the country for even more substantial growth in this sector.
