Cubans have horses and depend on then a lot. Why not have horses or oxen running around in a circle or the method in this video for powering a generator or alternator ?
You are forgetting the criminal economic and trade embargo against Cuba. With what money would they buy these Chinese solar panels? How exactly would they obtain the dollars? What economic activity do you propose for them to industrialize and become internationally competitive, given that they are an island with very few natural resources and, thanks to the embargo, have to pay much more for any resource compared to any other country?
The lawless bully nation known as the United States is strangling Cuba. They manufactured this crisis by threatening sanctions on anyone who sends oil to the country. An act of outrageous imperial aggression.
Just like overthrowing Iran's, Mosaddegh because Cuba's, Maduro, et. al. litany of past and current regimes globally aren't slavishly servile, Cuba's, Iran's, Venezula's, and many other peoples suffer because an imperial superpower is denied extraction of money, resources, and compliance from a government, its land, and its people.

Communism with Cuban characteristics.
Then got energy independent-- by importing a lot of solar panels, wind turbines from China.
then they wouldn't be suffering an energy embargo from the US.
for the few cases they need hydrocarbons import from Russia.
