The case for building a Jamaican solar industry

[Islandman]

I believe that renewables are one or two breakthroughs away from being the clear choice for residential energy solutions.

Solar-photovoltaic (solar-PV) is now the least expensive way of providing electricity for your home or business. It's cheaper than the fossil-fuel based energy supplied by Jamaica Public Service (JPS), cheaper than coal or natural gas, even cheaper than hydro or nuclear or small wind turbines.

Fascinating read. I had no idea photovoltaics had plummeted THAT much in pricing

I know China had MASSIVELY overproduced....but those numbers for panels look damned attractive

Whether it's energy new build or retrofit.... solar solutions run di cut... it appears

Indeed I sent 1of1 a report i had from bout 2011, when big tings did a gwaan from back then for personal solar tech. I just found it...you want a copy?

I can imagine the solar panel theft that will replace power line pilfering.

Yes, my mind did go there, as I know my people. LoL
Now we a sell condemned meat as riverton mutton, and Mongoose steak?
