In the midst of extensive blackouts, despite the most prodigal winter so far than in previous years, Cuba continues the deployment of Chinese technology parks to countermarca, but possible arrears on the arrival of the components could delay the goals of mitigating or annulling the deficits energy in the territories.
“The more they take, the more intense our work will be,” said Daniel Carrasco, at the head of the Integrated Projects of the Blinding North Photovoltaic Park, of the province of Ciego de Ávila.
In a report published on Monday the digital edition of the newspaper local Invaderthe manager referred to the collective criteria that the only thing that would lead them to breach the schedule for the execution of the work would be that the missing components did not arrive on date.
“We could have started putting the tables in November, but we did not have the resources at work,” said Carrasco. “We finished putting the piles on December 11 and the 17 was that the screws arrived to build the tables,” he added .
The delay forced to increase constructive forces. Now within the park more than 200 people work, “only in table armor, work that is not difficult, but requires skill.”
According to Invaderthere are still more than 200 containers with different types of resources to arrive at the work.
For his part, José Alejandro, another of the directors of the work, said that the most critical issue is in the components that have not arrived: “If the seven investors of 3.25 MW, next to the transformers, who come in containers, via via Maritime, they are not before February 15, you cannot deliver energy before March 15. We would have to be an impossible marathon and we could not stretch the days beyond 24 hours. ”
To this day, the source described, the park is 60 % of its physical execution with 269 armed tables, 222 with panels and 146 certified, a work deployed by 27 brigades formed by between five and eight workers.
At the same time, the assembly of the inner lighting and in the earth mesh already began, that is, the set of all the elements, electrical connections and devices that are part of a grounding.
The Avileño newspaper said that if the construction schedule of Ciego Norte is met and that of other parks in the process of lifting in the territory, next summer the province Avileña could become the first in the country in self -abducted from current at the peak schedule of the peak time of the peak of the peak of the peak of the peak of the peak of the peak of the peak of noon.
The government goal is for the country to have 55 new photovoltaic solar parks, about 22 MW, in correspondence with the National Energy Transition Strategy, which provides for the installation until 2028 of 92 parks that will contribute more than 2,000 megawatts (MW) power.
Cuba must install this year 55 photovoltaic parks of the 92 in plan up to 2028
The Chinese mirror
In the particular case of Ciego Norte, Chinese operators had to be imported, as the machines suffered serious mishaps when they were subject to a work regime for which they were not designed.
A feature only present in this park, and in another under construction in the La Yuca community, in the Cienfueguero municipality of Abraus, both unique for the type of support they use at their tables, forced the Cuban part to look for urgent solutions.
The challenge was to replace the screws with bells in the bullshit machines, attachments built in the Ignacio Agramonte, Camagüey mechanical plant; in the Avileños workshops of the Ferroazuc Base Business Unit, of Ciro Redondo; In the Aguilar Noriega, Villa Clara plant and even in China, where the prototypes designed by the patio specialists, the newspaper said.
According to Carrasco, “at the beginning it was difficult to communicate with China’s operators,” but seeing them working generated collective admiration.
They arrived early in the morning and ended well late, “up to nine and 10 hours of work, with rest of just half an hour for lunch, sweat drops and that inner peace, without flinching, without stopping working, without drinking water Fría, ”described the business leader.
“The Cubans, not accustomed to the rhythm, to that task, left ‘drag’ and, together, they bury 1,000 piles. In about 40 days more than 18,000 of these elements stated after the machines were subject to an innovation that replaced the pins with more resistant glasses, ”said Carrasco.

Accuracy in panel supports
According to the Chief of Execution of the Work, Leudis Pupo Alegría, an engineer in nuclear and energy technologies, the work in the area requires great precision in an environment where labor usually does not perform those tasks.
“In the beginning it cost us work to reach the two daily tables. We already exceed that number. It is not as easy as they painted us. The work requires a lot of precision: distance between one element and the other, the screw, maintain the squad… ”, said, on the other hand, Héctor Jobe Pacheco, worker of the company Indalecio Montejo that intervenes in the assembly of panels and manufactures structures structures for structures for ships and furniture.
One of the four quality verifiers is Leonardo Valdés, zone supervisor, who checks “since they put the piles, that everything is at the level, to the last work object of the park.”
“Fallas are minimal. We correct them, review and certify the work they do. There is a lot of quality, ”said Juan Carlos Sorí Jiménez, an engineer with more than three decades of experience, cited by the newspaper.
In the context of photovoltaic parks, the tables refer to the structures that solar panels support and are fundamental for the installation of the photovoltaic modules, since they provide the necessary inclination and stability to maximize the collection of sunlight.
The tables, in turn, allow to adjust the inclination of the panels, which is crucial to optimize the generation of energy throughout the day and during different stations of the year.
The newspaper report Invaderthis Monday, it coincided with one of the highest electricity deficits of the last weeks.
The blackouts will simultaneously affect up to 43 % of the country, mainly due to lack of fuel and stops due to breakdowns and maintenance in several thermoelectric plants, the Electric Union (UNE) reported.
The island suffers for years a serious energy crisis, which has been aggravated in recent months with deficit rates that have reached 53 % and three national blackouts. Currently, some regions only have electricity supply for four hours a day, the Spanish agency reviewed EFE.
