4 turbines can be an efficient method of pumping water for irrigation purposes. The small wind turbine can also be used for pumping water for livestock use. Wind energy can therefore be competitive since it is now possible to produce electricity at approximately 4-6 cents per kilowatt. It also offers the opportunity for cleaner electricity generation, greater versatility in use especially in the agricultural sector for irrigation, and can provide a standby source of electricity to reduce vulnerability. Solar/photovoltaics The present stage of development of this source of energy suggests that it will be a long time before it can be considered for grid connection in the Caribbean. However, the potential of this source should not be underestimated. The potential for increased use exists in agriculture, industry, including street lighting, and in the home. In agriculture, solar crop dryers provide for greater uniformity of drying, with increased output in a shorter period of time. Solar/photovoltaic sources may also be used to pump water for irrigation. Recently a number of countries have installed photovoltaic cells on streetlights in remote and rural areas outside of the electricity grid area. Another widespread use of solar energy is that of providing hot water for household use. While both Barbados and Saint Lucia, because of generous incentives and promotion, have made great strides in this area the other countries of the region are lagging behind. Where solar water heaters have been used, it has been shown to reduce energy costs by about 3 per cent for the household. Possible deterrents to the use of solar heaters are the initial high cost of installation and the fact that these units have to be mounted on roofs or other raised areas which make them susceptible to hurricane damage. Costs are, however, being reduced due to competition and better designs are being developed to deal with the hurricane problem. While solar/photovoltaic energy sources are not immediately suitable for grid connection, they can play a meaningful role in rural development. They can make a tremendous contribution to the agricultural sector by reducing post-harvest loss, improving the quality of dried fruits and other products and, as a source of energy for irrigation, increase farm yields. Research work at the University of the West Indies (UWI) has shown the potential for large-scale ice making and refrigeration using photovoltaics. Research in the United States of America and Europe has demonstrated the use of solar energy to provide air-conditioning for office buildings especially those using glass in their design. At present, the estimated cost of generation for solar/photovoltaic is around 6-8 cents per kilowatt and this is decreasing as solar cell technologies improve. Hydroelectricity Although the introduction of low volume continuous flow systems have made this technology readily applicable in small streams, poor agricultural practices and inadequate forest management techniques have reduced the potential use of this energy source, as rivers and streams in many islands of the Caribbean are being reduced to trickles.
