Currently, Trump has decided they should not receive any oil

Their entire country's economy is being shut down because it can not produce sufficient electricity

I looked into why not solar

Financial Barriers: The U.S. embargo restricts #Cuba's access to international financing and raises the cost of importing components. With a $12 billion foreign debt, the government lacks the capital for massive upfront investments.

​Infrastructure Issues: The national grid was built in the 1980s and is too unstable to handle large amounts of variable solar power without expensive battery storage, which Cuba currently lacks
