We’ve officially donated 11 solar energy systems to Puerto Rico’s Fire Department. Our 1st projects in PR right after Hurricane María’s impact. They allowed first responders to continue providing services during those difficult times & the continuous power outages since.

The nonprofit organization donated the renewable energy systems to improve resilience at 11 fire stations. #NewsismyBusiness

Our most recent installation in Puerto Rico was at the La Mina Community Center in Naguabo. This week they were able to store refrigerated medications for community members while they wait for the electricity to come back to the area after Tropical Storm Ernesto.

[Empowered By Light @lightempowered]

This is the reason we are committed to bringing clean solar energy to vulnerable communities around the world.

Last Christmas we asked you to help fund a solar energy+storage project for COREFI, a service organization in Vieques, Puerto Rico. This Spring we installed it. Today, Vieques is without power, but they're using their system to feed first responders & the elderly after TS Ernesto

[Empowered By Light @lightempowered]

This storm serves as a stark reminder of why sustainable energy solutions like solar power are crucial for a brighter, more resilient future. Let's continue to empower #PuertoRico with clean, reliable energy that can weather any storm. #TropicalStormErnesto

[Empowered By Light @lightempowered]

Our hearts are with our friends & staff who are under the impact of Tropical Storm Ernesto. With over 25 projects on the island, we’re aware of Puerto Rico’s weak energy grid. According to the energy company’s president people need to prepare for prolonged service interruptions.

[Empowered By Light @lightempowered]

As of 10:30 am (AST) today, over 630,000 clients are without power which is 43% of the island, and the number keeps rising.
