If you own a home in Pedasí, you know both sides of life on the Azuero coast: sunshine nearly every day — and a US-dollar electric bill that climbs every time the AC runs. Solaris Energy designs and installs solar systems for homeowners across Pedasí, with English-speaking service from the first site visit to the final utility paperwork.
Pedasí sits in Panama's dry arc — one of the sunniest corners of Central America. That's exactly the climate solar panels were built for.
Pedasí averages more than five peak sun-hours per day, with solar irradiance around 5.2 kWh/m². Production stays strong year-round — even in the green season, mornings are mostly clear and your panels keep working.
Electricity here is billed in USD by the utility (Naturgy/ENSA), and residential rates hover around $0.26 per kWh — among the highest in the region. A home running air conditioning can easily see $250–$600 monthly bills. Solar typically cuts that by up to 95%.
Many expats price out a diesel generator for backup. Generators are loud, need fuel runs and constant maintenance, and cost far more per kWh than solar. A solar system — with optional battery backup — is silent, clean, and pays for itself.
Law 417 is Panama's clean-energy incentive law — and yes, it works for foreigners. The benefits attach to the property or business owner in Panama, not to your passport.
Solar incentives depend on eligibility, equipment and the applicable application process. Base estimates exclude tax savings; project-specific treatment requires documented validation with a Panama tax adviser.
Panama's net metering program (medición neta) lets your system push extra energy into the grid during the day and pull it back at night. A bidirectional meter tracks both flows, and you're billed only on the difference. Produce more than you use in a month, and the surplus becomes a credit on your next bill.
There's no complicated energy trading and no need to oversize your system. We design for your real consumption, and we file the interconnection application with the utility on your behalf — you don't touch the paperwork.

Yes — our team serves English-speaking clients across Azuero. Site visits, quotes, contracts and after-sales support are available in English and Spanish.
Most residential systems (5–10 kWp) run between $8,000 and $18,000 installed, depending on roof type and whether you add battery backup. At current utility rates, typical payback is 3–5 years.
A standard grid-tied system switches off during an outage for safety reasons. Add a battery and your essential circuits — fridge, lights, internet, a bedroom AC — keep running automatically. It's a popular option on the Pedasí coast.
From signed quote to a system that's switched on, usually 2–4 weeks. Installation itself takes 1–3 days; the rest is utility interconnection paperwork, which we handle for you.
