Why Tesla''s microgrid project is life changing for Ta''u
Tesla''s subsidiary, SolarCity, is at the end of a one-year solar energy microgrid project on the American Samoa island of Ta''u that, at 1.4 megawatts, can cover "nearly 100%" of its 600
The Ta''u Island is powered entirely by solar panels | WIRED
The island of Ta''u in American Samoa, more than 4,000 miles from the United States'' West Coast, now hosts a solar power and battery storage-enabled microgrid that can supply nearly 100 per
Ta''u: An Island Using 100% Renewable Energy
The microgrid eliminates Ta''u''s need for power rationing and drastically reduces the probability of outages. It also provided massive savings and greater resilience for Ta''u, as the island no longer relies on unreliable
American Samoa''s Solar+Storage Microgrid
The island of Ta''u in the U.S. territory of American Samoa relied heavily on diesel generation to meet its electricity needs until a solar+storage microgrid was installed in 2016. Now, instead of burning through 300 gallons of imported diesel fuel every day, the island''s homes and businesses are almost entirely powered by solar+storage.

The island of Ta''u in the U.S. territory of American Samoa relied heavily on diesel generation to meet its electricity needs until a "solar+storage" microgrid was installed in 2016. Now, instead
Ta''u Island Microgrid
The stability and affordability of power from the new Ta''u microgrid, operated by American Samoa Power Authority, provides energy independence for the nearly 600 residents of Ta''u. The battery system also allows the island to use stored solar energy at night, meaning renewable energy is available for use around the clock.
