Make your roof your power station
With some of the highest electricity costs in the region and strong sunshine most days, solar is one of the smartest investments a Jamaican property owner can make.
We handle everything: energy-use review, system design, panel mounting rated for hurricane winds, inverter and battery installation, earthing and surge protection, and guidance on connecting to the JPS grid where applicable. We also repair and upgrade existing systems that are underperforming.
- Systems sized from your actual JPS bills
- Wind-rated racking and proper roof penetration sealing
- Hybrid inverters with battery backup for outages
- Monitoring app so you can see your production

Grid-tie
Panels feed your home during the day and work alongside the JPS grid. It's the lowest-cost way to cut your bill.
- Lowest upfront cost
- Fastest payback
- Can be expanded with batteries later (with a compatible inverter)
NoteStandard grid-tie systems shut down during outages for line-worker safety. If backup matters, choose hybrid.
Hybrid (solar + battery)
The most popular choice in Jamaica. Solar powers your home and charges batteries; when JPS goes off, the batteries take over automatically.
- Bill savings and outage protection
- Silent, fuel-free backup
- Can integrate a generator for extended outages
Best forHomes and businesses that want lower bills and uninterrupted power for essentials.
Off-grid
Fully independent power with no JPS connection, ideal for remote farms, cabins and sites where grid access is expensive or unavailable.
- No monthly light bill
- Larger battery bank required
- Generator backup recommended for cloudy spells
Best forRemote properties, farms, water pumping and eco-lodges.
What's in a solar system
Panels
Monocrystalline modules convert sunlight to DC power, typically warrantied for 25 years of production.
Inverter
Converts DC to AC for your home. Hybrid inverters also manage batteries and the grid.
Batteries
Lithium (LiFePO₄) storage for night-time use and outage backup. Long life, low maintenance.
Protection
DC/AC isolators, breakers, surge protection and earthing. The parts that keep it safe.
Is your system underperforming?
Many systems in Jamaica produce less than they should. Common causes we fix:
Inverter faults or errors
Error codes, shutdowns, or a dead display.
Dirty or shaded panels
Dust, salt spray and new tree growth can cut output significantly.
Batteries not lasting
Ageing, mis-configured or undersized battery banks.
Loose or corroded connectors
Especially in coastal areas like Negril. A real fire risk.
Storm damage
Loose racking, cracked panels or water ingress after severe weather.
Monitoring offline
Can't see your production? We reconnect and verify it.
Going solar with us
Energy review
We study 6–12 months of bills and your backup needs.
Roof & design
Roof survey, shading check and a system design with savings estimate.
Installation
Racking, panels, inverter, batteries and protection, typically in a few days.
Commission
Testing, monitoring setup and a full owner walkthrough.
Solar questions
Will solar work during a JPS outage?
Only if your system has batteries and a hybrid inverter. Standard grid-tie systems switch off during outages for safety.
Can my roof handle solar panels?
Most concrete and zinc/metal roofs work well. We inspect the roof condition and structure first, and use mounting systems suited to each roof type and hurricane wind loads.
How long do panels and batteries last?
Quality panels typically carry 25-year performance warranties. Lithium batteries commonly last 10+ years depending on usage. Inverters often last 10–15 years.
Can I sell excess power to JPS?
Grid-connected customers may be eligible for JPS's net billing arrangements, subject to application and approval. We'll explain the current requirements and prepare your installation accordingly.
Do panels need cleaning?
Rain helps, but dust and salt build up, especially near the coast. A gentle rinse every few months keeps output high. We offer cleaning and inspection visits.
