The Jamaica Solar
Energy Association was launched on June 23, 1999 as a
non-governmental organization. It was designed to
undertake the primary role of shifting Jamaica's energy
mix in the 21st century by encouraging the increased use
of renewable energy, specifically solar. The Association
is composed of manufacturers, retailers, marketers,
installers and providers of solar energy and academia.
Membership is open to the public.
Objectives
of the JSEA
The Association aims
to:-
- promote the use of
solar energy in Jamaica
- formulate suitable
industry standards
- establish a solar
energy information database
- facilitate funding
opportunities for the solar industry
- act as a lobby with
government and the private sector to aid in the
development of the solar energy industry
- provide education in
aspects of solar technology
Background
to the JSEA
For several years,
various players in the solar energy industry have met in
different fora to discuss the impact and importance of
alternative energy sources in Jamaica. These fora
included solar system manufacturers, retailers,
marketers, government agencies and private sector
interests.
With the adoption of
the Jamaica Energy Sector Policy, and recognition that
there was sufficient interest in the solar energy
industry, the PCJ initiated an inaugural meeting of all
respective parties in July 1998. Subsequent to this
other planning meeting, the Solar Energy Association of
Jamaica was officially launched. The title has since
been changed to the Jamaica Solar Energy Association.
