6 FAQs about [Jamaica grid connected pv]

Where is the first utility-scale solar PV plant in Jamaica?

Aerial view of 154-acre Content Solar PV power plant in Clarendon, the first utility-scale solar PV plant in Jamaica. On August 28, 2016, Content Solar Ltd. launched commercial operations of Jamaica’s first utility-scale solar PV plant.

Does Jamaica use solar power?

Jamaica has yet to see large-scale development of solar power, with no utility-scale facilities installed to date. However, there are notable solar installations, such as the 1.6-MW rooftop array at the Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa and the combined 500 kW installed across 33 facilities by the Jamaica Broilers Group.

What are the design criteria for a grid connect PV system?

The actual design criteria could include: specifying a specific size (in kWp) for an array; available budget; available roof space; wanting to zero their annual electrical usage or a number of other specific customer related criteria. Determining the energy yield, specific yield and performance ratio of the grid connect PV system.

What type of electricity is used in Jamaica?

In Jamaica, non-renewable generators that use petroleum products, primarily Bunker C fuel oil and automotive diesel, generated 93% of the annual output for 2014.

What is the cost of electricity in Jamaica?

Jamaica's electricity cost is approximately $0.39 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This information is provided in the energy snapshot of Jamaica, an island nation located in the north Caribbean Sea. The utility rates are above the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.

Why is electricity inexpensive in Jamaica?

Jamaica's electricity is inexpensive due to the fact that more than 94% of the island’s electricity is generated from petroleum-based fuels. This leaves Jamaica highly dependent on imported fossil fuels and vulnerable to oil price and currency exchange fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.
