The island used to rely entirely on imported diesel fuel for its electricity,
. . . but, in an effort to create a more sustainable future,
. . . hundreds of residents are participating in a new solar energy project.
SolarCity and Tesla,
. . . is allowing the island to finally break free of their dependence on diesel imports.
The new system provides,
. . . 6 megawatt hours of storage, which permits the island to stay powered for
. . . 3 full days without sunlight. The microgrid absorbs enough solar within
. . . 7 hours of sunlight to fill the Powerpacks to full capacity.
