As the hospitality industry in the Caribbean increasingly prioritises sustainability, leading resorts are turning to solar-powered golf carts as a practical and cost-saving innovation. Veranda Connect is proud to be at the forefront of this shift, delivering advanced solar canopy solutions that convert standard electric carts into fully solar-charging vehicles.
One of our flagship clients, Half Moon, an award-winning 5-star resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica—has already integrated this technology into their operations, significantly reducing energy costs while reinforcing their commitment to environmental leadership.
Why Forward-Thinking Resorts Are Making the Switch
Veranda’s solar canopies enable golf carts to charge directly from sunlight throughout the day, dramatically lowering electricity consumption. This makes them ideal for large resorts, especially those spread across multiple acres, where carts are essential for staff and guest mobility.
For luxury properties, the move to solar-powered carts isn’t just about sustainability, it’s about operational efficiency, long-term savings, and enhancing the guest experience with quiet, emission-free transport.
Business Advantages
- Lower Operational Costs: Solar charging slashes electricity bills and significantly lowers fuel expenses.
- Grid Resilience: Carts are ideal for remote or off-grid locations.
- Sustainability Credentials: Supports ESG targets and appeals to environmentally conscious guests.
- Brand Differentiation: Showcases innovation and leadership in green hospitality.
- Seamless Integration: No major infrastructure upgrades are needed; canopies are designed to retrofit existing carts.
Built for the Caribbean
Our canopies are lightweight, weather-resistant, and engineered to withstand harsh coastal environments. With a sleek, low-profile design, they enhance aesthetics while delivering high solar efficiency. They’re also ideal for high-temperature, high-UV regions like Jamaica, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands etc where solar yield is consistently strong.
Enhance with Battery Storage
For resorts operating 24/7, pairing solar carts with battery storage solutions ensures uninterrupted use, even after sunset. This integration further reduces reliance on the grid and maximises energy independence.
Proven Impact
Half Moon’s adoption of our solar mobility solution is a strong case study in performance, reliability, and guest satisfaction. Their leadership sets a standard for other Caribbean luxury resorts seeking to reduce their carbon footprint while improving operational performance.
