These appear to have arrived before the US tightened the blockage in earnest. Their plan was for a 2 GW combined installation, of which this represents maybe 1%.

A flotilla from the US just arrived recently. Cuba's electrification and adoption of solar is slowed by the embargo but it's also something that is happening and is making an impact.

What they're doing is laudable. But these boats are tiny compared with what the Cubans need to survive.

Sure, my point is that the rise in solar is a good thing and that this is benefiting the Cuban people. Not that it is capable of fixing the problem alone.
