Clean, Affordable Energy for Your Home

Making residential solar attractive and accessible

How does solar work?

The sun shines on the solar panels generating DC electricity. The DC electricity is fed into a solar inverter that converts it to AC electricity, which can be used to power appliances in your home.

Solar options for homeowners in the Virgin Islands

• • Solar + Storage

Say goodbye to electricity bills forever by going off grid. Solar energy will power your appliances and recharge your batteries each day. At night your energy will come from your batteries. Learn more about our energy storage solutions here

• • Net Energy Billing

When a grid connected net metering system is producing more power than is being consumed, the surplus is fed into the main power grid. In the USVI, WAPA meters the electricity fed into the grid by your system and provides a credit on your bill. At night your power is supplied by the main power grid as usual.

• • Self Consumption & Solar Curtailment

If Net Energy Billing is not an option, and you’re not quite ready to go off-grid, a solar curtailment or self consumption system could be right for you. These systems are still connected to the utility grid, but will not back feed any energy. Self-consumption systems store excess energy in batteries for night time use. A curtailment system will adjust your solar production to match your energy consumption so there is no excess energy being created. When solar energy is not available, power is supplied from the main power grid.

Where can my solar panels be installed?

Anywhere there is clear access to sunlight. Roof-top, ground mounts, solar porches and carports are all options. Caribbean Solar Company can custom design a system that works with your home and aesthetic.

How do I maintain my solar system?

Solar equipment is designed to be virtually maintenance free.

We recommend an annual solar inspection to ensure there is no damage to the solar panels, inverters or wiring components. Depending on location, solar panels may need to be cleaned to continue producing at peak efficiency.

How long will my system last?
