What is the electricity cost in Bayahibe, and how much could I save?
CEB, a subsidiary of CEPM, applies a single-rate tariff of RD$ 22.90 per kWh, with no separate demand charge. Your savings are calculated using your bills, consumption patterns, and proposed system; they cannot be established without that assessment.
How long does it take for solar panels to pay for themselves?
As a general guideline, around 4 years; this is an estimate, not a guarantee, and is calculated using your bill. Your proposed payback period depends on your consumption, how you use the energy, and the system sized for your property.

Can I get assistance in my language?
Yes. Contact us on WhatsApp at +1 809 998 1120 in Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch and many more languages. You can explain your property’s needs in your language to begin the assessment.
What size solar and battery system do I need?
Your system is sized using your electricity bills from the last 12 months. We review your property’s consumption and needs to select solar panel and inverter power and battery capacity. Equipment ranges do not replace that calculation.
How does solar self-consumption with batteries work?
You use energy from your solar panels and batteries on your own property to buy less electricity from the grid. Batteries store energy for use when the sun is not shining. Our systems in the eastern region do not export surplus energy to the grid.
Why don’t you use net metering?
Our approach in the eastern region is self-consumption with batteries and no surplus exports. We size the installation to use energy within your property; the proposal does not depend on selling energy to the grid or receiving credit for surplus energy.
What is the benefit of a battery when outages are uncommon?
Outages are uncommon in the area. A battery stores solar energy for use when the sun is not shining, helping you buy less electricity at the grid tariff. We size its capacity using your last 12 months of consumption and your usage patterns.
Do you install batteries and inverters prepared for salt air in Bayahibe and Dominicus?
Yes: we install fully sealed WeCo 16K0 batteries coated with marine paint, together with Victron inverters, from a brand in business since 1975. Its inverters were originally designed for installation on boats and are prepared for salt air, humidity and heat, conditions we keep in mind when choosing equipment for your property.
Can solar panels with batteries serve a small hotel with 50 to 60 rooms?
Yes. The system is sized using your electricity bills from the last 12 months. We can integrate self-consumption, batteries, and automation to schedule energy use and control the installation from your phone and computer, with reports by room.
