Abstract

The research shows the potentialities of the solar energy to guarantee water supply in isolated communities. A community of the Báguanos municipality in Holguín province is used as a case study. The following variables were taken into account: potentialities of the renewable energy sources (REF) in the communities, the state and quality of the water, the state and quality of the soil, as well as the effects of the strong winds on the solar panels. The results obtained demonstrated the feasibility of using this type of energy in isolated communities.
