The first photovoltaic charging station in Holguín province, executed by the small enterprise Frenas Conmigo, has completed its civil construction phase and is preparing to go online with 32 kilowatts (kW) of inverters and 60 kW of batteries.

Álvaro Grass González, sole partner and founder of the entity, exclusively informed the Cuban News Agency that the work carried out in this first stage at the facility located in the Alcides Pino neighborhood of the main municipality included the conditioning of the building and the installation of solar panels.

After completing the technological connection, the center will provide charging services for tricycles, bicitaxis, and electric motorcycles — an accessible alternative for local transport workers in line with the energy matrix change policies promoted by the country, he explained.

Amid the nation's complex energy context, the solar charging station will offer free services to the community, including cell phone charging, rechargeable lamp charging, and food cooking facilities, with designated areas of the premises for this purpose, he noted.

Grass González specified that the facility will operate 24 hours a day and will have a store specializing in high-demand electrical supplies that are in short supply in the informal market, such as switches, cables, electrical tape, and power outlets.

Founded in 2022, the commercial company holds the status of National Vanguard Collective, granted by the Central Workers of Cuba in recognition of its provincial leadership in the repair of brake and clutch systems, contributing to the sustainability of the automotive fleet.
