HomeJPS rates are among the highest in the Caribbean at $0.42/kWh. Combined with hurricane risk and NHT-backed financing, solar pays back in 3-4 years for the typical Jamaican home. Sunchees has delivered 30+ systems across the island since 2014.

Best solar systems for Jamaican homes & businesses
Three configurations cover 95% of Jamaican use cases. We size and ship the full kit — panels, inverter, batteries, mounting, cables.
Off-Grid Solar
5 – 10 kW — for rural homes or properties with unreliable JPS service. Runs entirely on solar + battery, no grid connection needed.
Hybrid Solar
10 – 25 kW grid-tied with battery backup. Sells excess to JPS via Net Billing, keeps power during blackouts. Best fit for Kingston, Mandeville, MoBay.
Hurricane-Grade
Cat-5 rated mounting — anodized aluminum + IP65 inverters. Tested in Westmoreland after Hurricane Beryl (see survival data below).
What Hurricane Beryl taught us about Westmoreland installs
In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Westmoreland with sustained winds of 150 mph. We tracked our 14 installed Sunchees systems across the parish — here's what survived, what didn't, and why.
Beryl post-storm review · Westmoreland
For Hurricane Beryl-grade installs we ship anodized aluminum rails, 6 attachment points per panel, and IP65 inverters in covered enclosures — the same spec used by our existing Westmoreland customers. Read the full Beryl post-mortem →

What matters for solar in Jamaica
Caribbean conditions are different from US/EU. Read our detailed Jamaica installation guide for compliance details. Here's what we engineer for in every Jamaican install.
Hurricane risk: cat-5 corridor
Jamaica sits squarely in the Atlantic hurricane main development region. We ship cat-5 rated mounting and reinforced rails as standard. Beryl 2024 confirmed our spec. See our Westmoreland Beryl post-mortem for survival data.
Salt-air corrosion
Coastal homes in Negril, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, MoBay need anodized aluminum frames + IP65 inverters. Galvanized steel rusts in 18 months by the sea. See our metal roof installation guide.
Voltage standard: 110/220V split-phase
Jamaica uses US-style split-phase (NOT European 230V single-phase). Our inverters ship factory-configured for 110/220V — no field rework, no risk of blowing 110V appliances. More on 120/240V split-phase inverter selection.
Net Billing — not Net Metering
Under JPS Net Billing you sell excess at avoided-cost rate (lower than retail). Hybrid + battery captures the spread by self-consuming first. See our 3-phase inverter selection guide.
