Solution

The project is designed to create long-term value and positive impact for both the environment and local communities and will support Puerto Rico’s goal of generating 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2050. It is a milestone project for the island as it transitions to renewable energy.

The 1396 5B maverick arrays are engineered to withstand the extreme wind speeds in this designated hurricane-prone region, capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 93m/s (335km/h) (ASCE 7-16). Delivery commenced in Q1 2025 and is expected to be completed in Q4 2025. 

The solar + storage project includes 100 MW of 4-hour duration battery energy storage. 

“The high wind resilience of 5B’s Maverick solar technology and its ability to generate more power per acre offers a solution that can enhance reliability and maximize land use. This project is another example of our commitment to advancing a more resilient and green energy grid for the people of Puerto Rico.”
