Island In American Samoa Fully Powered By Solar
Ta''u, a small island in American Samoa, now gathers enough solar energy for 24/7 power, thanks to a microgrid project completed in November with solar provider SolarCity and Tesla. The system, operated by American Samoa Power Authority, comprises 5,000 SolarCity solar panels and 60 Tesla Powerpack battery-storage systems.
Welcome to the island of Ta''u – (almost) entirely powered by solar panels
Tesla and SolarCity have announced they have (almost) entirely powered the small island of Ta''u in American Samoa with solar panels. Up to now, the island has had to depend on imported diesel to generate electricity. But, Tesla''s new 1.4-megawatt microgrid will now absorb and store enough sunlight to meet most of the islands energy needs.

Harnessing the Power of Renewable Energy in Samoa
One of the most promising renewable energy sources in Samoa is solar power. The country enjoys abundant sunshine, with an average of 2,800 hours of sunlight per year. This makes solar energy a highly viable option for electricity generation. In recent years, several solar power projects have been implemented across the country, including the
Solar Panel Calculator
The number of solar panels you need depends on the following factors: Your solar panel needs; Your usable roof area; Solar panel dimensions; Photovoltaic cell efficiency. So, for example, if you have a small roof, it might be a good idea to invest in fewer highly efficient panels. Typically, the efficiency of solar panels ranges from 15-20%
