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.

The 5km coastline rule: 25-year salt-air warranty

95% of Bahamian homes are within 5km of the coast. Standard solar hardware rusts in 18-24 months by the sea. Sunchees ships marine-grade across the board for Bahamas — and we back it with a written 25-year warranty.

Standard hardware (what other suppliers ship)

  • Galvanized steel rails (rust within 18 months)
  • Carbon-steel bolts (corrode and seize)
  • IP54 inverters (moisture ingress)
  • PVC cable jackets (UV brittleness)
  • Standard MC4 connectors (oxidation)
  • Warranty void in coastal zones

Sunchees Bahamas Marine-Grade Spec

  • Anodized 6063-T5 aluminum rails (25-year)
  • Stainless 316 marine bolts
  • IP66 inverters (dust + jet water)
  • UV-rated XLPE cable
  • Tin-plated MC4 connectors
  • Full 25-year warranty in coastal zones

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.

Hybrid Mainland

10 – 25 kW grid-tied with battery. Nassau/Freeport homes with BPL connection. Sun-to-Solar interconnection eligible.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get solar on an Out Island without BPL grid?
Yes — most Out Islands run on diesel or solar. We design fully off-grid kits with battery backup that don't need any utility connection. Marine-grade hardware comes standard. CIF shipping to all Out Islands ports including Marsh Harbour, Governor's Harbour, George Town, and Andros Town.
How much solar do I need to survive a hurricane?
For 3-day hurricane backup (typical maximum cloud cover), size 1.5× your daily kWh need in panels and 3-day battery capacity. Most 4-bedroom Bahamian homes need 10kW panels + 20-30kWh battery. Cat-5 mounting is non-negotiable — Dorian taught us that lesson.
Does Sunchees ship to Marsh Harbour and other Abaco ports?
Yes. We ship CIF Nassau, Freeport, and Marsh Harbour for Abaco. For other Out Islands ports we coordinate freight forwarders. Sea freight 28-35 days from China; air freight 5-7 days at 4× cost.
Is BPL Sun-to-Solar worth applying for?
For Nassau/Freeport mainland — yes, you can sell excess to BPL. For Out Islands — N/A since there's no grid. Application fee is $200 with 6-week review. Hybrid systems with battery still pay back faster than pure grid-tie because BPL outages are frequent.
What's the warranty on coastal installs?
Standard panels: 25-year linear performance warranty. Marine-grade aluminum mounting: 25-year structural warranty. Inverter: 10-year. Lithium battery: 10-year cycle warranty. Coastal zones (within 5km of sea) covered if marine-grade spec'd.
