Félix Morffi's solar home in Havana's Regla municipality showcases sustainable living and renewable energy use in Cuba. Morffi's installation of 16 photovoltaic panels in 2019 provides 5 kW of power, reducing his reliance on the national grid. Additionally, he built a solar-powered boiler for hot water needs and a solar dryer for food dehydration, using recycled materials. His home generates surplus electricity, which is sold back to the grid, providing income and supporting Cuba's energy supply. By using solar energy, Morffi reduces his carbon footprint and contributes to national efforts to decrease fossil fuel consumption. His success highlights the potential of DIY solar projects and community engagement in promoting renewable energy practices. Supported by policies like Decree-Law 345, which encourage decentralized energy generation and allow surplus energy sales, Morffi's solar home exemplifies how individual actions, combined with government support, can drive sustainable living and renewable energy adoption in Cuba.
