Let’s Bring Solar to Haiti!

Posted by Digitalkap on May 13th, 2021

Did you know that Haiti is slowly paving its way to becoming a solar-powered country? The nation has historically suffered from a significant energy deficit that has affected millions of Haitians. Because of this, the government decided to increase the share of renewable energy—and as a result, a Solar for Haiti movement began to take shape, transforming the country’s energy system into something more modern and sustainable.

All of this is thanks to the efforts of the Haitian government and private entities. We at DigitalKap have made it possible to bring solar power to everyone in the country, including individuals, non-profit organizations, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.

The benefits of bringing solar power to Haiti:

What makes solar for Haiti better than other energy sources? Solar power has always been one of the most efficient and sustainable options. In fact, one hour of energy harnessed from the sun can meet the global energy requirements for an entire year.

Solar power is a truly renewable energy resource available all over the world. It’s impossible to run out of solar energy, at least not in the next 5 billion years, much unlike other sources such as fossil fuels and water.

Solar power can significantly lower electricity bills for everyone who uses solar energy. For instance, we have partnered with schools and hospitals to dramatically reduce their power needs, despite many computers and equipment that require electricity.

In addition, solar for Haiti is easier to maintain than other sources. Take fossil fuels, for example. This non-renewable resource requires a significant amount of space for power plants, high levels of heat to burn coal, and large turbines to convert that heat into electricity.

On the other hand, our solar energy only requires the installation of panels, needing little to no maintenance as long as they are kept clean.
