4.1.5 Photovoltaic Technology The first use of photovoltaic systems was for telecommunications to power microwave repeater stations, and navigational aids in remote areas (Headley, 2000). By the end of the 90’s, the government had the desire to have the same positive image for photovoltaic as for solar water heater technologies and installed various demonstration projects. By 2001 there were over 30 kWp photovoltaic systems at various sites installed in Barbados, all financed by the government (Ministry of Physical Development Environment 2001). The systems are: • 1100 Wp at the University of the West Indies for solar cooling • 17,300 Wp at Harrison’s Cave for running the cave’s lighting system • 3,000 Wp at Combermere School for operating a computer laboratory • 11,100 Wp at the Skeete’s Bay fishing complex on the island’s East Coast powering a one-tonne-per-day solar ice maker for the fisher-folk • a 300 Wp portable photovoltaic system is used to demonstrate the flexibility and versatility of the technology to members of the public Source: Ministry of Physical Development Environment 2001 Unfortunately the photovoltaic installations stagnated due to missing adequate analyses and their appropriateness for particular applications in the market. Local architects, builders and engineers were not convinced, and high initial costs seemed to be a big burden. Nevertheless, interest kept on growing (Moseley & Headley 1999). BICO Ltd., an ice cream factory in Barbados, has been independent from the local utility for more than 12 years with its own diesel generator and is considering producing their high electricity demand with renewable energy, mainly with photovoltaic installations. After a fire which destroyed the factory and because of the increasing oil prices, they already started with a 9 kW system of thin-film modules and would have a potential roof area for about 700 kW. Edwin Thirlwell, Executive Chairman, sees BICO as a pioneer and wants to give the people confidence. He mentioned that the ministries are keen about looking at BICO as a big and important company, needing a success story (Thirlwell pers. comm. 25 March 2010).
