More than 200 Heroes and Heroines of Labor in Cuba have begun to receive photovoltaic modules in their homes as part of a program that the regime promotes as an initiative to address the energy crisis facing the country.
The information was released by Cuban Television, which noted that the installation is part of a plan aimed at benefiting more than 10,000 workers with compact solar energy systems to mitigate the effects of power outages.
According to the report, of the 208 Heroes of Labor existing on the island, 138 systems have already been installed, which represents over 63% completion.
The equipment includes a solar panel, connections, and a 1,200-watt output battery, which allows for powering basic appliances such as refrigerators, fans, televisions, and lamps, far from meeting the needs of a household.
The company Copextel is responsible for the installation in the homes.
The authorities stated that the "beneficiaries" have payment options available, either in cash or by card, and even with family support to complete the payment.
The program also extends to thousands of households of workers across the country.
According to the television report, nearly 8,000 photovoltaic systems are already in operation, while the sale and installation of the remaining systems continue amid a complex energy situation characterized by prolonged blackouts and fuel shortages.
The installation of photovoltaic systems is also intended to "benefit" selected teachers and doctors in the workplaces, a form of rationing that recalls the old disputes when the regime distributed items from the energy battle.
