Puerto Rico is still struggling to recover from the devastation left by Hurricane Maria in 2017. The deadly Category 5 hurricane killed three thousand people and knocked the island’s power out for nearly a year.

In an effort to keep the lights on, many are advocating for a solar solution. We had the chance to see those efforts on the island in 2019.
