An integrated solar and battery system was installed at Migrant Health Center in Las Marias, Puerto Rico, helping to ensure the facility will remain online even through a major disaster like Hurricane Maria, according to an article on the Direct Relief website.
The project is one of several solar and battery installations underway at health centers across Puerto Rico. The next is a $700,000 system at the Centro de Salud Familiar health center in Arroyo.
The Arroyo solar power and battery system is scheduled for completion this month and will represent the largest solar installation on a health center since the protracted blackout caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
The solar installations at health centers and clinics in Puerto Rico are part of a larger effort to strengthen Puerto Rico’s infrastructure.
