Fossil-fuel energy in the Caribbean is expensive and can be unreliable. Wouldn’t it be a relief to know you’re in control of your electricity, water, and daily operations without the energy wildcard?
There are many companies selling solar panels across the Caribbean. Some opened their doors last year, and some will close them this year moving on to some new and different business venture.
Solar Island Energy is different. We have a long, successful track record in the solar-energy industry and we are in this business for the long term.
We differentiate ourselves by leveraging our credentials and years of experience in the renewable energy industry with our strong presence in the Caribbean to execute these strategies and deliver projects with little to no risk for our clients. We are always listening and thinking, developing creative solutions to energy challenges. We strive to make all our clients raving fans of our service and performance. We believe we have the reputation, competence, and capacity to earn your trust, and we work to keep it every day through successful project delivery and achievement of your goals.
We are true to these beliefs whether we are working in our own back yard or 5,000 miles away.
Our portfolio includes over 600 solar-energy projects and over 80 battery energy storage plants in the US and overseas. Our references include professional sports franchises, universities, utilities, Fortune-100 multi-national companies, and performance venues. Some of our clients have contracted with us for more than 20 projects over time. We are partners with Bahamas Energy and Solar Supplies, Ltd and Island Site Development, with the capacity to engineer and build any size of solar-energy or microgrid project using our own labor for civil, site, mechanical, and electrical scopes of work.
We work tirelessly to earn your trust and deliver a renewable-energy system that exceeds your expectations. Because of our philosophy, we have become one of the leading renewable energy development and construction companies in the Caribbean.

Who We Are
Originally founded in 2009, our team has renewable energy experience dating back to the early 1990’s. Our offices are in Nassau (Bahamas), Providenciales (Turks and Caicos Islands), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), and Castries (St Lucia). Our engineering headquarters is in St. Louis, Missouri (USA) and our Caribbean sales headquarters is in Miami, Florida.
We attract and retain the best and brightest talent – motivated by our mission, and forged into a strong team across the Caribbean.
Our team has a wide range of expertise in small- and large-scale engineering and construction management and project finance. We are licensed General Contractors in all of our operating regions, with the capacity to bond construction services. We have experience and expertise with most commercial-grade power systems, including 20,000 Enphase microinverters and “module-level electronics” installed since 2009.
We have veteran NABCEP-certified (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) Directors leading our sales, engineering, and production teams. The NABCEP certification is known as the “gold standard” for solar-energy training and experience. That means you’re getting the most highly skilled professionals by solar energy industry standards.
In 2017, Solar Island Energy engineers also earned the coveted NABCEP PV System Inspector’s certification. There are fewer than 40 System Inspectors worldwide, and we are the only certified NABCEP PV System Inspector in the Caribbean.
The engineering team is licensed in multiple districts, directed by Licensed Professional Engineers, and we are proud to be a US-Licensed Engineering Corporation; a difficult designation to achieve. The engineering team is also responsible for evaluation and integration of new technologies and optimizing the deployment of more traditional systems. This team has completed many advanced “microgrid” and “diesel-hybrid” projects, including battery storage, fuel cells, electric vehicle charging/storage, and centralized metering of electricity and both solar-thermal and waste-heat hot water.
We minimize your risk, lower your costs, and ensure that all of our labor is top notch with our project delivery process, subcontractor training, and inspection programs.
We pride ourselves on our expertise in cost and quality control and industry best practices. We maintain an industry leading Quality Assurance program to ensure we achieve total client satisfaction.
We also provide commissioning, owner’s agent and forensic services to financial institutions, portfolio managers, building owners, and other solar developers. These clients rely on us for performance verification, warranty compliance, insurance settlement, and disbursement management. We also provide training to a variety of audiences: emergency first responders, architects, engineers, CARILEC, utility electricians, and university students.
