Curaçao sun advantage
Strong sun year-round helps solar produce consistently across seasons.
Solar makes power in the day
Your panels generate electricity when the sun is strong (midday).
Batteries store extra power
Batteries help you use solar at night — especially if you're away during the day.
Use solar directly if you're home
If you're home during the day, you can use more solar instantly and may need a smaller battery.
Savings grow with usage
Higher monthly usage usually means bigger savings — because electricity rates rise in higher tiers.
