Cuba’s Solar Expansion: 10,000 Photovoltaic Systems from China
China has donated 10,000 photovoltaic systems to Cuba, comprising two batches of 5,000 systems each. This initiative is part of expanded energy cooperation between the two countries amid Cuba’s ongoing electricity crisis characterized by widespread outages and generation shortfalls.
Cuba Solar Expansion Plans for Solar Parks
In addition to the photovoltaic systems, China has announced plans to assist in building 92 solar parks with a total capacity of 2,000 megawatts by 2028. The Cuban government is focusing on enhancing its solar energy capabilities as imports of Chinese solar panels surged from $48 million in 2024 to $117 million in 2025.
SUMAI S.A. and New Equipment for Cuba Solar Expansion
Separately, the Cuban-Chinese joint venture SUMAI S.A. is set to bring commercial solar equipment to HolguÃn. This includes 590-watt monocrystalline panels that have an efficiency of up to 23.2%. However, as of now, authorities have not released any information regarding retail prices or the anticipated date for public availability.
Public Response to Cuba Solar Expansion Initiatives
The arrival of solar equipment has created renewed hope among residents in HolguÃn, who are eager to access solar panels. Despite the anticipation, the lack of confirmed availability and pricing has left many in uncertainty regarding when they might obtain these resources.
