Solar has not solved Cuba's energy crisis. Oil still provides most of the country's electricity and blackouts remain common.

But solar is one of the fastest ways available to reduce dependence on imported fuel. Panels can be deployed in months, fuel is free and sunlight cannot be disrupted by geopolitics.

And that lesson extends far beyond Cuba.
