Solar energy offers interesting prospects in Haiti, by offering energy self-sufficiency to the most isolated cities, in the absence of a power grid. The country's location in the tropics gives it very strong solar energy potential. It is believed solar energy will play a fundamental role in access to electricity over the next 10 to 15 years.
According to Haitian dealers' records, 50 percent of power generators come from the United States. Other suppliers include Japan, France, China, and South Korea. According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade, the United States exports of electrical, electronic equipment to Haiti totaled US$50.15 Million in 2022.
Haiti faces significant challenges in generating and distributing energy reliably, and lack of access to affordable and reliable power significantly hinders investment and business development. The majority of electricity is produced using imported fossil fuels.
The procurement of fuel to reliably supply the turbines is a priority for the Haitian government. Other potential power generating sites include 10MW facilities planned for both Port-de-Paix and Jacmel and a 5MW array intended for Jeremie. Grand'Anse and Nippes Departments in the southern region were also target areas for smaller power facilities.
The new solar project reduces the number of hours necessary to run the generators from 24 hours per day to 4 or 5 hours per day. The main points here are accessing a more reliable power
