SUMMARY
La Clinica de Familia is in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Before the installations of the Solar Panels, La Clinica was spending more money on energy bills than on critical medications for patients.
​
A 20 kW solar panel system was installed to provide 80% of the energy for the clinic, displacing expensive and toxic diesel fuel. This plant will offset the astronomical cost of electricity from the utility company, and, when the produced energy is not needed by the clinic, it will be sold to the utility company to further offset operating costs.

Solar power provides reliable energy, resiliency to operate after a natural disaster, reduced operating costs, improved local air quality, carbon emissions reductions, and local skills to the community to operate the new systems.
