Solar Panels in Pedasí

If you own a home in Pedasí, you know both sides of life on the Azuero coast: sunshine nearly every day — and a US-dollar electric bill that climbs every time the AC runs. Solaris Panamá designs and installs solar systems for homeowners in Pedasí, with English-speaking service from the first visit to the utility paperwork. We have installed solar systems in Panama.

Why Pedasí was made for solar

Pedasí sits in Panama's dry arc — one of the sunniest corners of Central America. That's exactly the climate solar panels were built for.

What electricity costs in Pedasí

Pedasí is on the EDEMET (Naturgy) grid. For Sep–Dec 2026, ASEP's residential BTS tariff for EDEMET charges B/.0.17624 per kWh for 11–300 kWh, B/.0.23177 for 301–750 kWh and B/.0.25027 above 750 kWh, before subsidies, fuel adjustment and taxes.

Quieter Than a Generator

Many owners price out a diesel generator for backup. A solar system with a battery is silent and needs no fuel runs. We size it to the circuits you want to keep on.

Law 417: How Panama's solar incentives work for foreigners

Law 417 incentives depend on eligibility and the project, not on where you are from.

What Law 417 means for a Pedasí homeowner

  • 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.
  • Within the month, exports offset your use; unused surplus is paid at the utility's average contract purchase cost

Net metering, explained simply

Panama's net metering program (medición neta) lets your system push extra energy into the grid during the day and draw power back at night. A bidirectional meter tracks both flows. 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. It is not paid at the rate you pay per kWh.

The current cap for new net-metering connections applies until 31 December 2026, or until the new procedure is approved if that happens first. What this means for your application.

There's no complicated energy trading and no need to oversize your system. We design for your real consumption, and we file the interconnection application with the utility on your behalf — you don't touch the paperwork.

Questions expats ask us in Pedasí

Can foreigners benefit from Law 417?

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.

Do you speak English?

Yes — our team serves English-speaking clients across Azuero. Site visits, quotes, contracts and after-sales support are available in English and Spanish.

How much does a solar system cost in Pedasí?

Price depends on your consumption, roof and whether you add a battery. We quote after reviewing your recent bills. Law 417 tax benefits are not included in our base estimate.

Does solar work during power outages?

A standard grid-tied system switches off during an outage for safety reasons. Add a battery and your essential circuits — fridge, lights, internet, a bedroom AC — keep running automatically.

How long does the whole process take?

Installation is the short part. Under ASEP's procedure the utility has up to 15 business days to answer the application, up to 5 for testing after installation and up to 10 for written approval; in practice the sector reports longer times. We handle the paperwork for you.
