Energy Central solves the problem of costly, unreliable energy in Haiti by providing an alternative source of power through the use of solar energy. It provides customers with a way to lock in energy prices over the long term, which is an unusual form of certainty in an otherwise chaotic business and social environment.

Haiti is a tropical country and receives large amounts of sunlight year-round that can be captured and used to produce significant amounts of energy. Constantly improving technology has led to both markedly improved efficiency and a steady decline in the cost of solar power, making prices competitive with current forms of production. Solar panels have an average lifespan of 25 years, which means that in Haiti—where current energy costs can be as much as four times what is paid in the U.S.—solar systems can pay for themselves in 4 to 6 years.

Energy Central has been studying the market through rigorous research of the Haitian energy market and through meetings with clients and has discovered a broad customer base. In many cases, 25-30% of monthly expenditures for a business are energy-related, making companies eager to reduce costs. Gaining stability in the price of energy becomes a real advantage.

Energy Central’s advantage lies in the fact that none of the competition provides continual service and follow-up and most are focused on being suppliers of components. Energy Central offers qualified electrical technicians and dependable service in a market where both are a rarity. It is unique in offering a long-term commitment to its clientele while at the same time developing the local labor market.
