Is solar a good option in the Bahamas?
On a kilowatt-hour (kWh) by kilowatt-hour basis, solar’s your best, but you need to add battery energy storage capacity in order to reach higher levels of penetration,” he noted. “Nassau’s [the Bahamas’ largest city] is a pretty big grid, and it can take a fair bit of solar without storage,” Burgess continued.
What projects are underway to capitalize on solar power potential?
Several projects that capitalize on that solar power potential are underway, Jones Bahamas points out. The Bahamas Ministry of Environment and Housing in February contracted Woslee Construction to begin building out a rooftop solar installation at the Anatol Rodgers High School.
