An in-depth literature review of research in the field has been conducted on the DR and global energy sectors and the nation's successful implementation of solar energy initiatives. Most information on solar energy in the Dominican was obtained from local newspaper articles, online energy magazines, local and international entities reports, and local governmental webpages.
