6.6.7.3 The Solar Energy Research Center in Santiago de Cuba

At the beginning of the 1980s, the Cuban Academy of Sciences created a research center in Santiago de Cuba dealing with solar energy. This developed in 1984 into the Solar Energy Research Center (CIES), a unit aimed at promoting energy saving and the use of solar energy in the country, contributing to the related scientific and technical development in its eastern provinces, on the basis of the intellectual potential already created at the institutions for higher education.

From the beginning, the CIES was conceived as a closed cycle research-production center. Its first building was erected in 1982, as was the first stage of a small experimental polygon. Later, workshops for experimental production and prototypes were created, the definitive laboratories were set up and the experimental polygon was completed.
