Tesla Turns Power Back On In Children's Hospital In Puerto Rico

Tesla has used its solar panels and batteries to restore electricity to San Juan's Hospital del Niño after being hit by Hurricane Irma. This will hopefully be the first of many solar and battery Tesla projects coming to Puerto Rico. The hospital's new energy system, which is set up right in the parking lot of the hospital, allows it to generate all of the energy the hospital could need, according to El Nuevo Dia. This includes being able to offer services to about 75 permanent hospital residents and about 3,000 younger temporary patients. This solar array is a donation to the hospital from Tesla, and Tesla would like to make further deals in Puerto Rico once they have fully recovered from the disaster.
