. . . 4-6 months to re-string all the lines and reconstruct the grid.
As soon as the storm passed,
. . . Tesla quietly began sending hundreds of Powerwall battery systems,
. . . that can be paired with solar panels to the devastated island,
. . . in an effort to restore electric power there.
And the shipments of Powerwall battery systems are continuing,
. . . a Tesla spokesman confirmed.

. . . working on installations of the battery systems, and
. . . installing or repairing solar there.
The employees are coordinating efforts with local organizations.
