A Smaller Power Bill
Generation offsets what you draw from the grid during daylight hours, which for most households is a significant share of the month.
Residential solar for Bahamian homes
A rooftop system sized around how your household actually uses power, installed by our own crew and supported long after handover.
Solar at Home
Lower bills, and lights that stay on
Bahamian households pay some of the highest electricity rates in the region, and the rate is not the only problem. Outages interrupt work, spoil food, and shorten the life of appliances.
A properly designed home system addresses both. Solar reduces what you buy from the grid during the day. Storage keeps the parts of your home that matter running when the grid drops.
Benefits
What solar changes for a household
Power Through Outages
With storage, nominated circuits keep running when the grid goes down. Refrigeration, fans, lighting, internet, and medical equipment are the usual priorities.
Value On the Property
A documented, warrantied energy system is a permanent improvement to the house rather than another monthly expense.
Predictable Costs
Less exposure to the fluctuations of utility rates and the fuel charges that drive them.
A Smaller Footprint
Clean generation on your own roof, reducing reliance on imported fuel.
You Can See It Working
Monitoring shows you what the system is producing, so performance is visible instead of assumed.
The Process
How a home installation runs
Consultation
We review your recent bills and talk through what you want the system to achieve, whether that is bill reduction, backup power, or both.
Site Assessment
We visit the property to check roof condition, structure, orientation, shading, and where equipment can be safely mounted.
Custom Proposal
You get a design, an equipment list, a realistic timeline, and clear pricing. No pressure and no obligation.
Installation
Our crew installs, seals, and wires the system, working around your household as much as possible.
Activation
The system is commissioned, tested, and connected to monitoring. We walk you through how to read it.
Ongoing Support
Scheduled maintenance and monitoring keep the system producing what it was designed to produce.
Equipment and Storage
What goes on your roof
Every home system is built from panels, an inverter, mounting hardware, and monitoring. Whether it also includes batteries depends on what you want the system to do.
We specify equipment from established manufacturers, including Huawei, and we mount and seal for coastal conditions. Roof penetrations carry a 10 year warranty.
Solar Panels
Mounted and sealed for coastal exposure, positioned for the best year round yield your roof allows.
Inverter and Monitoring
Converts generation for household use and reports performance continuously.
Battery Storage, Optional
Added when you need the house to keep running through an outage. Sized around your nominated critical loads.
Maintenance Plan
Cleaning, inspection, and servicing on a schedule that suits salt air and storm season.
Residential FAQs
Questions homeowners ask
Savings depend on how much electricity you use, when you use it, and how much usable roof or ground space you have. A commercial client running heavy daytime load usually sees the largest reduction, because solar output lines up with the hours the business is drawing the most power.
We do not quote a percentage before we look at your bills. The first step is an energy assessment where we review twelve months of usage and model what a system would offset on your specific property. That assessment is free.
A residential rooftop system is typically a matter of days on site once the design is approved and equipment is in hand. Commercial and industrial systems run longer and are scheduled in phases so your operations keep running.
The honest answer is that the site work is rarely the long part. Permitting, utility approval, and equipment shipping into The Bahamas usually set the timeline, and we give you a realistic schedule in your proposal rather than an optimistic one.
Panels alone lower your bill during daylight hours. They do not keep your lights on when the grid goes down, because a grid tied system without storage shuts off during an outage for the safety of line workers.
If your priority is bill reduction, panels may be enough. If you need your building to keep running through an outage, you need storage. We will tell you which one your situation actually calls for.
On our subscription plan, equipment and workmanship carry a 25 year warranty, roof penetrations carry a 10 year warranty, and the system is monitored 24/7. Sonowatt replaces equipment for the life of the contract.
On a purchased system, workmanship and production carry a 10 year guarantee, roof penetrations carry a 10 year warranty, monitoring is included, and the equipment itself is covered under the manufacturers' warranties.
The subscription plan transfers to the new owner. A purchased system transfers with the property as well, since it is part of the building.
