Solar PoweR

Solar energy is a completely renewable resource  and creates absolutely no pollution. This is a most important advantage that makes solar energy so much more practical than oil. Solar power technology is improving consistently and people are beginning to understand all of the benefits offered by this incredible technology. For homeowners, businesses rooftop solar is increasingly cost-effective. Technology price reductions, innovative financing, and a growing number of solar installers have helped to drive down the prices for household systems in the United States by 45% percent from 2010 to 2014 according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Affordable Energy efficient Homes

We intend to build homes for the low, middle and high income sectors of the Guyana market. Each home will be equipped with an affordable solar system. GHTE currently has two model homes completed. 

Wind Power

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world.It's a cost effective clean fuel source with a domestic source of energy.Over the past 10 years, cumulative wind power capacity in the United States increased an average of 30% per year, outpacing the 28% growth rate in worldwide capacity.

Hydro Power

Hydro power is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source and is also a domestic source of power. Some hydropower facilities can quickly go from zero power to maximum output. Because this hydropower plants generate power to the grid immediately and provide essential back-up power during major electricity outages or disruptions.

Residential and Commercial MicroGrids

The electric grid of the future must be resilient, reliable, and local. This means Microgrids. National electric grids are under increased threats from extreme weather events, old age and physical attacks and investing in your own grid can mitigate risks. Microgrids put you in control of your energy decisions. They can be built in phases, allowing your electric grid to grow as your business or needs do.

Grid Development Upgrades & Smart Grid build up

While the way we use electricity has evolved over the years, how we transmit that power hasn’t changed. The Smart Grid is a modern electricity system. It is composed of intelligent electricity infrastructure that uses advanced communications and control technology to improve the flexibility, reliability, and efficiency of the electricity system. The Smart Grid will help consumers’ conservation efforts, manage energy costs and integrate new beneficial technologies like electric vehicles and storage.Sophisticated smart grid systems are needed in order to strategically manage the diverse and geographically scattered renewable power sources like wind farms, solar plants, and hydro stations. Smart grid will ensure that this energy can be stored safely and distributed where and when it’s needed.
