You moved to Panama for the sunshine — then the first Naturgy bill arrived, in US dollars, at about $0.18–$0.25/kWh depending on usage. Solaris Energy installs solar systems across the Azuero Peninsula for expat and local homeowners alike, with English-speaking service and every piece of paperwork handled for you.
High electricity rates billed in USD, more than five peak sun-hours a day, and a national incentive law. Few places in the world make solar pay back this fast.
The Azuero Peninsula is Panama's dry arc: 5+ peak sun-hours every day, all year. Your panels produce strongly even in the green season, when most rain falls after a clear morning.
At about $0.18–$0.25/kWh from Naturgy/EDEMET, depending on usage, air conditioning gets expensive fast — many homes pay $250–$600 a month. Solar with net metering typically wipes out up to 95% of that, and beats a noisy diesel generator on cost, silence and upkeep.
Quotes, contracts, engineering and support in English. We've built our service around international homeowners in Pedasí, Playa Venao and across the peninsula — no translation apps needed for a $15,000 decision.
Panama's clean-energy law rewards the owner of the property or business — residents and non-resident owners alike. Your passport is irrelevant.
Solar incentives depend on eligibility, equipment and the applicable application process. Base estimates exclude tax savings; project-specific treatment requires documented validation with a Panama tax adviser.
Panama's net metering program (medición neta) uses a bidirectional meter. Surplus flows out during the day and you draw power back at night. Within the month, exports offset your consumption. Unused surplus is paid at the utility's average contract purchase cost. You choose a semester or annual payout, capped at 25% based on past consumption.
We size the system to your consumption, and we handle the entire interconnection process with the utility — application, inspection, meter swap. You sign, we file.

Engineers design a system for your actual consumption, with a fixed quote in USD, realistic production numbers, and battery options if you want outage protection.

Yes — our team serves English-speaking clients across Azuero. Site visits, quotes, contracts and after-sales support are all available in English and Spanish.
Typical residential systems (5–10 kWp) run $8,000–$18,000 installed, in USD. Commercial systems are quoted per project. With utility rates of about $0.18–$0.25/kWh depending on usage, payback is usually 3–5 years.
We install across the Azuero Peninsula: Pedasí, Playa Venao, Las Tablas, Chitré, Tonosí, Cañas and surrounding communities in Los Santos and Herrera.
Under net metering, a grid-tied system can cut your bill: within the month, exports offset your use, and unused surplus is paid at the utility's average contract purchase cost. Batteries are worth adding if you want backup power during outages, which are more common toward the coast.
