We have a lot of standing seam roofs here in Jamaica, and we require a clamp that can be safely installed to the roof to properly attach the panels. After doing a lot of research, we started working with S5 on a project in Montego Bay and have done several with them since. They have a really good product.” Competition is growing as the solar sector in Jamaica becomes stronger, but Civilectric doesn’t let that sidetrack their vision. Pijuan emphasizes, “Our goal is to keep progressing and to keep offering high quality installations adapted to the region and environmental conditions. We believe in functional, reliable, and robust high- quality installations that can give a long lifespan cycle and keep our clients satisfied in the long term, ensuring they can get as much production as possible. We are seeing more and more low quality installations that are going to be a big problem in the short run, and we are offering the opposite – even though we might need to be more expensive than our competitors.” The management group at Civilectric follows the trends and technological advancements in the solar industry, but they tend to target manufacturers with smaller, stronger, efficient products when they’re designing solutions for clients. Looking ahead, the entire Civilectric team is excited to share that they will be rebranding in the near future as Jampower – a reflection on the clean, green focus of this innovative company. Emphasizing his own positive, passionate outlook, Pijuan shares, “Jamaica by nature is a blessed green, naturally beautiful island that inspires this concept and we need to preserve it and protect it for many future generations to come.”
