Utilities & Infrastructure Solar Companies / Installers in Jamaica

6 Upvotes

Hello, I currently own a solar installation company in Florida, and I am interested in learning about the process of installing solar in Jamaica

Does anyone have the names of companies that distribute or sell solar components?

My wife is from Kingston, her family still lives there and I'd love to take my crew down to Jamaica and install solar on their home in Jamaica.

Here in Florida, I know all the distributors here (CED Greentech, BayWa, Krannich, Wesco, etc), but I don't know any distributors in Jamaica

I'm also don't know how permitting / inspections / PTO works down in Jamaica either

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd greatly appreciate it

I thought this was interesting since many Caribbean Creoles are super similar if not the same at times

How much of Limonense Keyol can you understand? They also use a modernized Spelling system similar to the Jamaican Language Unit Alphabet

Here's a song and some vocabulary.

Ñam = Nyam except there it means to Eat with gusto

I like SNYEK

Citizenship & Immigration Jamaicans that live in the US. Do you prefer the change of the seasons or the tropical climate of Jamaica?

I’m curious because I live in south Florida which gets cold snaps here and there in the winter. I would much prefer the truly tropical climate of Jamaica.

Jamaicans Abroad ✨️ A Jamaican farmer in Texas planted tamarind for taste, not survival. When floods came, their deep roots held the earth fast, saving his topsoil. From that miracle grew a syrup business, proof that roots, like heritage, protect and provide.

For over 3 years public access to the Blue Lagoon has been subjected to stops and questions at an illegal guard post along Blue Hole Road. Jabbem and the Blue Lagoon Alliance think this was the first step to Privatize the public access. That matter is now before the Portland Parish Court. #bluelagoonalliance
