Several entities in the province of Holguín are promoting projects aimed at changing the energy matrix through the installation of photovoltaic technology equipment, under the direction of the Vértice Design and Engineering Company.
This Company leads several projects aimed at reducing dependence on the National Electric System and lowering fossil fuel consumption, which seeks to strengthen the energy autonomy of public and academic institutions in the región.
Among the institutions benefiting from these projects are the University of Moa “Dr. Antonio Núñez Jiménez,” the Vladímir Ilich Lenin General Hospital, and the National Company of Applied Research (ENIA).
All of them collaborate with Vértice in installing solar panels and systems, in line with an energy policy that promotes the use of renewable sources.
At the University of Moa, for instance, a 50-kilowatt photovoltaic park is being built with funding from a Canadian donation.
This project will not only supply power to the National Electric System but will also serve as a practical laboratory for electrical engineering students and specialists, allowing them to monitor the system’s efficiency and emissions.
The design of the park includes two solar trackers and panels that differ from those used in traditional facilities. Energy capture will be monitored from a specialized center, enabling the study of performance under various climatic conditions. This research component adds value to the project by integrating education, technology, and sustainability.
Vértice has also carried out other major projects, such as the construction of the Serones II photovoltaic farm in Mayarí, with a capacity of five megawatts, aimed at supplying stable energy to the power grid. It has likewise supported the health sector by installing solar water heaters at the Lenin Hospital.
Since its founding in 2004, the company has stood out for its work in tourism, housing, and social development projects. (Source: ACN)
