Puerto Rico's distributed energy revolution: rooftop solar now provides 20% (1,456 MW) of the island's electricity capacity.
This transformation includes 171,372 battery systems (2,864 MWh), creating resilience against hurricane outages while reducing imported fuel dependence.
Could this distributed model become the template for other hurricane-vulnerable regions?
