Connectsun is a third party project coordinator focused on protecting the interests of North America project developers & investors and local electrical contractors & installers. Connectsun’s network of native installers are matched with North American EPC firms, Project Developers, Equity Investors, Solar Lease and/or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Providers to facilitate productive partnerships.
The Caribbean and Latin America offer favorable Return on Investment (ROI) for renewable energy projects, particularly solar energy, considering high, unstable electricity prices due to an over-dependence on foreign oil. Local electrical contractors have been the regions first responders, learning the most efficient process to integrate the technologies considering the political climate, utility/electrical requirements, structural requirements, and other geographical constraints.

North American project developers are keen to invest significant capital, however, they are discouraged by inexperience with the process of interconnection in the region and do not wish to divulge resources if there is any risk of the learning curve diminishing the economic returns. Meanwhile, many Caribbean property owners are enthused by solar, but cannot outlay significant capital up front.

Join the connectsun network and gain access to the benefits of partnering abroad while offering the most effective local contracting to get the project grid connected.
