The entire country of Costa Rica, especially the Western Coast, gets strong sun exposure year round. The region sees very high to extreme UV indices especially during mid-day hours, which correlates to strong solar irradiance.
Perfect for solar!
Clear skies in the dry season further enhance solar generation. Even in partly cloudy or rainy months, solar panels still capture usable energy.
– Electricity in Costa Rica is expensive compared to the average cost per kWh in the US.
Residential averages across the US is under $.17 per kWh where costs in Costa Rica exceed $.23 per kWh. This can come as quite a surprise for those coming from North America and receiving bills often times twice what they pay in the US.
– A typical household in Costa Rica, electricity bills (for moderate usage) often fall between $120-$150 a month. For expats, who are accustomed to full air conditioning, these bills can easily top $300 a month or even more.
