Venao runs on sunshine — your electricity should too. Whether you own a beach house, run a surf lodge or manage a hostel, Solaris Energy designs solar systems that cut your USD utility bill by up to 95% and keep the lights on when the grid drops. English-speaking service, start to finish.
The same sun that powers the surf economy can power your property — and here it shows up more than five hours a day at full strength.
Playa Venao gets 5+ peak sun-hours daily on Panama's dry Azuero coast. Production stays strong through the green season too — most rain falls in the afternoon, after your panels have already done a full morning's work.
At roughly $0.26 per kWh billed in USD, running fridges, freezers, pumps and AC all day gets expensive fast — lodges and restaurants here commonly see $500–$1,500 monthly bills. Those daytime loads match solar production perfectly, which is why hospitality properties see the fastest payback.
Venao sits near the end of the grid, so outages are part of life. A diesel generator is the loud, smelly fix; solar with battery backup is the silent one. Your guests never hear it switch over — and it costs less per kWh than diesel ever will.
Panama's clean-energy law rewards whoever owns the property or business — your nationality doesn't matter.
Straight talk: the equipment exemptions lower the price for every buyer. The income-tax deduction only matters if you (or your Panamanian corporation) pay income tax here — which most Venao business owners do. If you're a non-resident with no Panama income, you still win on system cost, net metering and property value. We'll map your exact benefits before you commit.
Panama's net metering program (medición neta) connects your solar system to the grid through a bidirectional meter. During the day your panels power the property and export whatever's left over; at night you draw from the grid as usual. At the end of the month you're billed on the difference — and if you exported more than you imported, the surplus rolls forward as a credit.
We size the system to your real consumption, and we handle the interconnection application with the utility from start to finish.
Estimate your monthly savings from your roof size and current bill.
We handle everything. You keep surfing.
We come out to your property in Venao — or start with a satellite analysis — check roof condition, shading and orientation, and review your recent utility bills. No cost, no pressure.
Our engineers design for your actual load profile — including battery backup sized for outages if you want it — with a clear USD quote and realistic production numbers for this coast.
Certified crews, Tier 1 panels with corrosion-resistant hardware for beach conditions, premium inverters. Most residential systems are done in one to three days.
Net metering interconnection, Law 417 filings, permits — all managed by Solaris. Plus phone-based monitoring, a 25-year panel warranty and local support on the peninsula.
Yes. Law 417's benefits apply to the property or business owner in Panama, regardless of nationality. Import-duty and ITBMS exemptions lower the system price for every buyer, and if your lodge, hostel or rental generates Panama-source income, the investment can also be deducted from Panamanian income tax.
Yes — our team serves English-speaking clients across Azuero. Quotes, contracts and support are available in English and Spanish.
Yes, with batteries. Playa Venao sits near the end of the distribution line, so outages happen. A solar-plus-battery system keeps your essential circuits — fridges, Wi-Fi, lights, fans — running automatically and silently, without a diesel generator.
Typical residential systems (5–10 kWp) run about $8,000–$18,000 installed. Lodges and restaurants with bigger daytime loads usually land higher, but they also save the most — payback is commonly 3–5 years.
We install Tier 1 panels with corrosion-resistant frames and marine-grade mounting hardware suited to coastal environments, and we back the installation with long-term warranties — 25 years on panels.
