4 FAQs about Honduras solar system

Does Honduras have a solar market?

Honduras' solar market is now the second largest in all of Latin America, with Chile being the first. Honduras is also one of the first non-island countries that has been able to use 10% of its solar energy for electric generation. Other forms of renewable energy include biomass at 10%, wind at 7% and geothermal at 1%.

Does Honduras have solar power?

Honduras has a large potential for solar photovoltaic generation. In fact, it is a practical solution for servicing energy-isolated rural communities. In 2007, there were about 5,000 individual Solar Home Systems, with an average size between 30 Wp and 50 Wp, which makes up for a total capacity of approximately 15 to 25 kW of power.

Is Honduras a renewable country?

Honduras is also one of the first non-island countries that has been able to use 10% of its solar energy for electric generation. Other forms of renewable energy include biomass at 10%, wind at 7% and geothermal at 1%. Honduras has switched to renewable energy as a means of being self-sufficient.

Can Honduras build energy self-sufficiency?

Regardless of the challenges that still face Honduras, that country has been able to make a good deal of progress in building energy self-sufficiency since the reform implementations. Efforts to establish renewable energy in Honduras are improving people's quality of life and stimulating the economy.
