The two companies say they have already secured a supply deal for one of the first net-metered rooftop solar systems in the Central American nation – a 190kW facility for a commercial warehouse in Panama City.
It will produce more than half of the warehouse’s energy needs and also feed power back into the grid during peak demand.
"Panama's economy is growing and solar energy is the ideal way to solve the business community's electricity challenges," says UGE’s business development director Joshua Rogol.
