Solar Watt Systems Inc. Powering the Future

Highly regarded and respected as one of the leading installers of Photovoltaic Systems in Barbados and the Caribbean, Solar Watt Systems is a cutting-edge company within the Platinum Systems Group. They offer commercial and residential electrical contracting services along with their sister company LED Illuminations which sells/distributes LED bulbs throughout the region. Established over 25-years ago, Platinum Systems helped pioneer the renewable energy movement with the installation of their first system in 2008. Since then the group has grown from strength to strength, with Solar Watt Systems now carrying the PV mantle and leading from the forefront. The company has enjoyed many success stories to date, including several large-scale commercial projects within both the Private and Public Sectors.

Solar Watt Systems’ recent installation of 1,349 megawatts of solar photovoltaic systems at five Goddard Enterprises Limited (GEL) locations in Barbados is expected to generate approximately 2,672,325 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which is the estimated equivalent to the electricity use in 215 homes over the same period. In addition to the very significant financial savings this will initiate, it is also well worth noting the enormous benefits this will create for the environment.

When the Barbados Public Sector Smart Energy Programme was launched as an integral part of the country’s green economy push to save energy and reduce toxic emissions, Solar Watt Systems was humbly proud to be awarded the contract to retrofit government offices and buildings with solar. Collectively, these PV systems are estimated to generate approximately 4.5 megawatt hours of electricity annually, thereby saving about 2,664 barrels of oil per year.

Whether working on a huge commercial project or a modest residential installation, Solar Watt is always committed to delivering the best solutions for every customer, as well as providing them with a valuable education about the ever-changing technology of their systems and the optimum way to maximise their benefits.

Ultimately, Solar Watt Systems would like to see the entire Caribbean region move to 45% or 50% renewable energy. One of the company’s major goals is to help harmonise renewable energy policy across the region, so that there is a common platform for protecting and preserving the environment, instead of each individual island having its own policy and working in isolation.

By achieving a successful balance between decades of experience and state-of-the-art technological expertise, reinforced by a customer-focused philosophy and strong corporate.
