Why Solar Energy
The cost of solar electricity in the Caribbean is typically less the 1/3 the cost of electricity from fossil-fuel utilities or a diesel powerplant. The cash break-even can be as short as 2 years, delivering an Internal Rate of Return exceeding 50%, and the system will have lifetime positive cash flow. A financed systems deliver immediate reduction in expenses with no initial capital investment – making a solar energy system a better investment than the stock market, with less risk!
One of our favorite private-island clients told us on his “day one” that it was time he invested in something that would actually pay for itself.
A solar-energy system requires almost no maintenance. There are no moving parts, no noise, no permitting difficulties, and no preparation required in advance of a hurricane. It is clean and quiet, simply delivering electricity with no pollution or carbon emissions.
Whether you own or manage a resort, supermarket, desalination plant, school, manufacturing plant, or commercial office business – Solar Island Energy probably has experience in your market sector. Each sector has it’s particular constraints and characteristics, with occupancy, loads, space planning, building valuation, powerplant responsibilities, and other factors. Many projects are similar, but we also will listen and understand the differences. We will help you to better understand your needs and devise the best path forward to achieving your energy performance goals.
