First utility scale solar farm (10MW) in Barbados

The solar plant has been operating smoothly for almost 3 years, with the solar panels silently and efficiently converting photons into electrons. As a result, BL&P is planning to build their second solar farm, approximately 7MW in size, in the near future. With simple payback periods of 4 years it is a prudent business strategy.

Barbados Solar Financing Options for Residential Solar PV 2 One of the biggest, if not the biggest hurdle to further solar PV penetration in Barbados is the upfront cost of a system. When you think about the fact that the cost is essentially the prepayment of 25-30 years worth of electricity it makes sense that the price is "high".

The Solar House Project – Energy.gov.bb

The house is powered by five (5) sets of four (4) photovoltaic (PV) panel arrays leading to 2 kilowatts (KW). These are used to maintain the charge in 12 deep cycle batteries which will actually power the house.

Power plant profile: Saint Lucy Solar PV Park, Barbados

Saint Lucy Solar PV Park is a ground-mounted solar project which is spread over an area of 42 acres. The project generates 20.2GWh electricity and supplies enough clean energy to power 7,700 households, offsetting 21,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project consists of 45,000 modules. Development status

Photovoltaic in Barbados

In order to minimise the impact of this expense, the Government of Barbados (GoB) in the Barbados National Energy Policy (BNEP) 2019 – 2030 has outlined a plan for transitioning the country from a fossil fuel dependant nation to one that is 100% renewable energy-based and carbon neutral by the year 2030.

A Renewable-Energy-Powered Future for Barbados

Barbados demonstrated its long-term vision and commitment to renewable energy by first allowing household and commercial buildings to adopt and install solar PVs and sell their power to the grid. Barbados then developed its first financial facility to support renewable energy and energy efficiency, called the Smart Fund, where the government

Should you buy a solar PV system in Barbados?

One of the biggest, if not the biggest hurdle to further solar PV penetration in Barbados is the upfront cost of a system. When you think about the fact that the cost is essentially the prepayment of 25-30 years worth of electricity it makes sense that the price is “high”. If you could purchase a Continue reading →

What is the installed solar PV capacity in Barbados?

The total installed solar PV capacity in Barbados is about 22MW (12MW RER + 10MW utility).

Is Barbados a leader in solar energy?

Barbados continues to maintain a leadership position in solar energy within the Caribbean. Building on a successful Renewable Energy Rider program which has seen 9MW of distributed solar PV installed, the electricity market has finally opened up to independent power producers (IPPs) to develop utility scale solar projects.

Does Barbados use solar panels?

Solar panels are seen more and more frequently across Barbados. Similar to the ubiquitous solar water heater on Barbadian rooftops, the Government of Barbados is fully committed to the idea of renewable energy and solar PV, thereby preparing the country for even more substantial growth in this sector.

How many solar PV community solar gardens are there in Barbados?

Blue Circle Energy has over 40 solar PV Community Solar Gardens under development in Barbados, ranging in size from 250kW to 5MW. The project sites are distributed throughout the island, are located in each of Barbados' 11 parishes, and are sited and scaled to integrate with the community's natural and agricultural heritage.

Are Barbadians aware of solar energy usage & benefits?

Barbadians are aware of solar energy usage and benefits. Over the past few years, solar electricity systems have decreased dramatically in cost and more systems have been installed. As a result, the awareness level of Barbadians regarding solar energy has increased. In 2001, the installed capacity of solar PV in Barbados was 37 kW . Below is a list of the largest of these systems at that time:
