This greatly underdeveloped energy source is slowly making its way across the island: there are currently more than 6,000 photovoltaic panels and 1,500 solar heaters in use. The installed solar energy generating capacity in Cuba is around 3 megawatts, or 0.07 % of the total installed capacity.
New customs exemptions let Miami travelers bring solar panels, EV chargers, and other green tech into Cuba tax-free, as the island struggles with blackouts and fuel shortages.
Travelers arriving through airports must declare these goods separately from their regular luggage. Importantly, these items do not count toward Cuba’s usual $1,000 duty-free limit for personal imports, offering travelers more flexibility when bringing green technology into the country.
Under the new resolution, customs exemptions are extended to individuals and businesses importing not only solar panels, but also solar water heaters, wind turbines, biomass processing machinery and energy efficiency equipment. Key components of these systems are also included.
