Sonnen GmbH, a German provider of energy-storage systems, is planning to install microgrids to provide electricity for at least 15 emergency relief centers in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.
Sonnen began delivering its storage systems to Puerto Rico last week and expects to deliver at least one shipment each week as the island’s ports reopen, the Wildpoldsried, Germany-based company said in an emailed statement Monday. It’s working with local partner Pura Energia, which installs solar panels with Sonnen batteries.
