Placa solar off grid Heard and McDonald Islands

Local residents in Puerto Rico built the island''s first community

In the wake of the disaster, Adjunteños gathered at Casa Pueblo, which had installed its first solar panels in 1999 and had gone off the electric grid entirely just months before Maria. Locals were able to charge phones, run dialysis machines, and store medications in the center''s refrigerators.

Puerto Rico Is Using Residents'' Home Batteries To Back Up Its Grid

Puerto Rico has begun using batteries connected to residents'' rooftop solar panels to provide backup power for its grid, helping prevent blackouts and offering an alternative to fossil fuel-burning peaker plants. It could be the first step toward building one of the largest virtual power plants of its kind.

In Puerto Rico, Off-Grid Energy Is Looking More Appealing

The slow pace of restoring electricity to residents of Puerto Rico is making off-grid solar-plus-storage an appealing alternative. A recent report posted at Greentech Media focused on the remote mountain community of Orocovis, which has been without a working power grid since Hurricane Maria ravaged the island more than four months ago.

Tiny drops create mighty oceans: how distributed solar keeps

Rooftop solar helps provide resiliency to the grid and energy security to families. Increased DG penetration helps reduce Puerto Rico''s dependence on imported (and polluting) fossil fuels. According to the EIA, more than 97% of the island''s electricity generation is thermal, making Puerto Rico vulnerable to volatile fuel prices

The Grassroots Movement That Built Puerto Rico''s First

Rooftop solar alone could potentially provide four times the island''s residential energy demand, Department of Energy studies have shown. Despite efforts to transition to renewables and the local government''s goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy percent by 2050, the island currently sources less than 4% from renewables.

Harbledown: Making the Case for Renewable Energy

The Harbledown Island renewable energy microgrid controller is designed to automatically operate the system in a reliable, resilient, and autonomous manner, seamlessly supplying the system load via a mix of solar power, battery storage, and generator.

Heard Island and McDonald Islands

Heard Island and the McDonald Islands are free from introduced predators and provide crucial breeding habitat in the middle of the vast Southern Ocean for a range of birds. The surrounding waters are important feeding areas for birds and some scavenging species also derive sustenance from their cohabitants on the islands.
