OVERVIEW

At SunTerra we have looked at every island in the Caribbean and carefully examined all the parameters that enable significant solar energy production to determine which locations provide the most suitable conditions for solar development today.

 

Call or email us and we can work with you to develop a very detailed and custom tailored plan recognizing that each island and country is different.
We examine many factors in determining the right project format and size.

​

Location Viability

Some of the parameters examined include: 

​

  • The renewable energy goals and timelines to achieve those goals in each jurisdiction

  • The size and makeup of the electricity market

  • The peak energy demand

  • The amount of generation capacity 

  • The amount of energy generated and sold annually 

  • What percentage of the energy mix today is renewable 

  • How much oil and other fossil fuels are consumed in the production of electricity 

  • The total CO2 emissions by country 

  • The current price of electricity

  • How much can solar facilitate the lowering of electricity prices 

  • What is the level of losses presently in each area 

  • How reliable is the current generation equipment

  • What do customers experience in terms of reliability

  • What available lands may be used for solar energy production 

  • How receptive are the local authorities to a project 

  • How receptive are all Stakeholders to the project

 

 

Project Viability


Once the factors at each location are well understood and the opportunity fully defined, a detailed solution is developed that outlines the following parameters:

 

  • Where will the solar project be located 

  • What is the solar potential at that location 

  • How large of a solar project is required in terms of land and capacity 

  • How will grid interconnection be managed 

  • What will it cost to build the project 

  • How much fuel will be displaced annually 

  • What will be the annual fuel savings 

  • How much can reliability be improved 

  • How much will the carbon footprint be reduced 

  • What is the value of the carbon emissions reduction 

  • What will be the renewable energy mix post project
