DescSolar Responders was formed in response to the Puerto Rico Fire Departments demand for reliable power. Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in 2017, first responders were forced to rely on diesel generators to power their stations. As fuel and other supplies ran out and mechanical parts failed, first responders became stranded, unable to receive and send urgent calls for help. By harnessing solar power, first responders can focus on saving lives rather than keeping their generators running. Abundant and reliable sunshine is more dependable, efficient, economical and eco-friendly than imported fossil fuels. Our solar installations are designed to work 24/7, when the sun is not shining and when the power grid fails. During a disaster, the system kicks in immediately to provide continuous energy to power communication devices and the stations needs. With solar power, first responders will never lose the ability to communicate and can save lives without disruption.Desc
