4 FAQs about Huawei s distributed solar panels in Haiti

Can solar energy be used in Haiti?

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.

What challenges does Haiti face in generating and distributing electricity?

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.

Does Haiti have electricity?

Haiti's largest electricity grid is the Port-au-Prince metropolitan grid. Some towns, such as Fort-Liberté in the northeast, have an electricity distribution network, but have been effectively abandoned by the national utility EDH. Users thus have to rely entirely on small, privately owned generators to meet their electricity demand.

How much power does Haiti have?

Haiti has an installed capacity of 250 to 400 Megawatts (MW) but only 60 percent of the installed capacity is reliable, as many generation units and grid elements need rehabilitation and repair work. The distribution network has not been rehabilitated for more than 40 years.
