BPL rates at $0.36/kWh, direct hurricane path, and 700+ islands where the grid simply doesn't reach. Sunchees ships cat-5 rated solar systems CIF Nassau, Freeport, and Marsh Harbour with full Out Islands support.

Out Islands Off-Grid sizer
BPL grid only reaches 5 of the inhabited islands. The other 25+ — Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma, Andros, Long Island, Cat Island — run entirely on diesel generators or solar. Sunchees Out Islands kits include marine-grade hardware, lithium battery backup, and CIF shipping to your nearest port.
Post-Dorian Abaco rebuild packages
Hurricane Dorian (2019) destroyed 75% of housing on Abaco. Rebuilding with solar means independence from BPL's still-incomplete restoration and immunity to the next storm. Sunchees has 3 dedicated rebuild packages with priority shipping.

Best solar configurations for the Bahamas
Three setups cover most of the Bahamas — Out Islands need off-grid, mainland (Nassau / Freeport) can use hybrid with BPL Sun-to-Solar interconnection, resorts need commercial-scale.
Off-Grid Island Kit
5 – 15 kW + battery. The only option for Out Islands without BPL. Marine-grade everything. Cat-5 mounting standard.
Hybrid Mainland
10 – 25 kW grid-tied with battery. Nassau/Freeport homes with BPL connection. Sun-to-Solar interconnection eligible.
Resort Commercial
50 – 100 kW. Hotels in Nassau, Paradise Island, Atlantis area. Reduces BPL bills + brand sustainability story.
What matters for solar in the Bahamas
Bahamian conditions are extreme — direct hurricane path, salt-air everywhere, and BPL's island-by-island grid availability. Get these right or your system fails.
Hurricane risk: direct path
Bahamas sits in the main Atlantic hurricane track. Dorian (2019), Matthew (2016), Joaquin (2015) all major hits. Cat-5 mounting + reinforced rails are mandatory, not optional.
Voltage: 120/240V split-phase (US-style)
Bahamas uses US-style split-phase. Same inverters as Jamaica, Belize, US. NOT European 230V single-phase. Don't accept generic Chinese export inverters without confirming.
BPL Sun-to-Solar interconnection
For grid-connected installs, BPL's Sun-to-Solar program lets you sell excess. Application fee $200 + 6-week review. Out Islands = N/A (no grid).
Salt-air zones: everywhere
Nearly all of Bahamas is within 5km of coastline. Marine-grade specs are baseline. Expect 25-year warranty if you're paying premium prices.
