Honduras Government Purchase PERLA-29-LPI-B-:
"The project aims to cover the basic energy requirements of homes located in rural areas of Honduras, specifically in the communities of El Corpus and Concepcion de Maria belonging to the Department of Choluteca, being the final uses to be satisfied: lighting, cell phone charging and radio.
It is estimated that in 2025 an average 1 MW ground mounted solar energy system will have an average cost of 73 cents per watt, 36% less than the current cost.
Advances in technology and growing experience in the manufacture of solar energy systems are contributing to the gradual reduction of their cost, giving them an advantage over other sources of power generation, such as fossil fuel.
A residential development and solar power generation plants are some of the projects for which environmental impact studies were submitted in April 2016.

From 25 to March 27 companies and industry experts will be meeting in Panama to discuss issues such as financing, government policies and technology.
The conference called Central America Solar Power Generation (SPG Central America) will be held at the Intercontinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa. It will include the participation of 20 local generating companies, utilities companies, distributors and government representatives from the countries of the region are expected.
The intense media apparatus unleashed by solar panel producers should not make us avoid the necessary analysis of the real possibilities currently offered by this technology for homes.
In addition to the cost of purchasing and installing a solar panel, the climatic conditions of our tropical countries must be taken into account and the amount of energy this form of alternative energy produces during wet periods.
The growth of electricity demand and favorable prices ranging from between 20 and 40 cents per kilowatt hour have been highlighted as most noteworthy.
It is expected that the solar market will add 700 megawatts of new capacity in 2014, representing 2 percent of world demand in the solar market until 2018. This rate requires developers to move with speed in order to enter new countries.
Companies specializing in renewable energy will visit the country in the first week of June to offer advice, financing and technology in photovoltaics, wind and water.
From 3 to June 7 an event will be held in Panama dedicated to renewable energies and on Tuesday, June 4th the Renewable Energy Symposium 'Made in Germany' will be held at the Marriott in Panama City, sponsored by the Ministry of Economy and Technology of Germany, which seeks to support German companies in expanding into foreign markets, in this case in Panama and other Central American countries.
