HARNESSING THE SUN

SOLAR BELIZE offers free solar training, and green business opportunities for low income and under-employed residents. Serving as a solar and green-jobs advocate, we work with our partners to promote solar and inclusive green economic development in our poverty stricken country. This will in effect be a apprentice program that is also implemented in Germany where the appeal of vocational training is highly favored. Where employment after graduation is almost guaranteed. That could explain why about half of German high school graduates enter into vocational programs. In contrast, 69 percent of American high school graduates enroll in two or four-year colleges, while 29 percent immediately enter the work force, according to a 2016 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. I myself was enrolled in a trade school OWITVET. As a current student I can honestly say that no sort of training or teaching is occurring in the school. Belizeans need a system that works.

Employment
Describe la necesidad o problema que deseas abordar
The problem I want to address is the high unemployment of youths. The main focus will be to build a dynamic and inmovative business model that will not only provide solar installation amd maintenance but also change overall technology and energy that we use. Creating Solar Malls, Schools, Farms,businesses and homes that can be energized by solar energy.
¿Cuál es el principal producto o servicio que ofrecerás?
The main service will be offering quality life changing employment for the betterment of Belize. The training will be a intensive training offering trainees the opportunity to work hands on on real life Solar installations.
Describe brevemente la comunidad o población que se beneficiará de tu solución y de cómo planeas involucrarlos en el proyecto
I believe the entire country can benefit form this initiative where unemployment is very high in my area and the entire of Belize. The community will be involved in being able to participate in the program and the residents will have the opportunity to have solar systems installed on their homes which will in turn cut energy costs and help save the environment with clean free energy! Its a win win situation!
¿Tiene tu propuesta un modelo de negocio (es decir, una estrategia para generar ingresos)? Por favor describe
In order to generate revenue the trainees will be working on customer' homes,businesses, hotels/resorts,farms etc. Also regular Solar panel maintenance will also be a needed service which will be in high demand. In the next way revenue will be generated is by having a solar farm/s to sell solar energy to hundreds of Belizeans!!!

Hi Edmund, my name is Melissa. Congratulations on encouraging you to apply for your idea and to undertake. Customers are the people who will pay for your service or product, and that will make your business model sustainable. I think you should think about a strategy about your sustainability model since it is a fundamental part to guarantee the success of your project. Have you thought about who and how you will offer them this service and why would they be interested in buying the solar service? You should also consider what are the benefits of using solar energy compared to conventional energy, and link this to the problem of lack of commitment and as your proposal supports.

You have an innovative idea right there my friend. Great job with it! Why not Convert it into Belize Solar Energy Company to compete with BEL and bring down the price in electricity and employ people to install and give maintenance to the solar panels and then expand throughout the country. You will have to employ accountants, managers, solar panel installers, solar panel maintenance officers, secretaries, customer service receptionists etc.. like a normal entity would do. You got the potential and you need to think a little outside the box. BEST WISHES in your goals and hope you win.

THANK YOU!! APPRECIATE IT! HIGHLY FAVORED. I definitely see that vision and how it can become a huge company employing hundreds countrywide. As having the entrepreneur mindset when I was planning my idea I sought ought what I believe is most important which was unemployment and poverty and creating a constant demand and supply chain. This idea has the potential of employing other different types of skills in the process. Having that in mind I have other innovative ideas on how SOLAR BELIZE can provide green clean energy such as businesses, hospitals, stadiums and ultimately creating a SOLAR MALL!!!

Yes awesome suggestion. The pilot area would be my home town in Orange Walk because it has a very high unemployment rate especially with recent sixth form graduates.
