In Jamaican dollars, going solar in 2026 costs roughly J$522,000 for an entry 6kW installed system without battery, J$1.1M–J$1.4M for a mid-size system with lithium storage, and J$2M+ for large whole-home systems — while a single 605W panel is J$25,000 off the shelf.

Why JMD pricing matters
Quotes in US dollars hide exchange-rate risk, and overseas stickers hide freight, fees and taxes. A JMD shelf price from local stock is the only number you can compare and hold: what you see at BTECH in Ocho Rios is what you pay.
The three price tiers
Components (build or expand yourself): panels J$25,000 each, hybrid inverters J$220,000 (6kW) to J$430,000 (12kW), lithium batteries J$360,000–J$450,000, cable/mounting/protection typically 10–15% of system cost.
Installed starter systems: from J$522,000 (6kW, 6 panels, grid-assisted) — cuts daytime consumption immediately.
Installed systems with storage: from about J$1.14M — these keep the lights on through blackouts and typically cut bills 70–90%.
The payback maths
With JPS residential power historically costing the equivalent of US$0.30–0.40 per kWh all-in, most right-sized BTECH systems pay for themselves in roughly 3–5 years — on panels warrantied for 25+ years.
