Solar distributor altE is assisting with relief efforts in Puerto Rico and other areas hit hardest by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria and Jose.

altE is donating an off-grid solar power system–3,300-watt solar panel array, hybrid solar inverter and batteries with a retail value of $15,000–to Family Medical Clinic de Cedros in Puerto Rico, which is situated near Iglesia Emmanuel Casa de Refuge and is currently without electricity and clean water.

The system will power the most critical functions of this medical clinic, which is located near San Juan. altE is working with Fairfield, Ohio nonprofit solar installer SonLight Power.

altE is also providing discounted solar power equipment to residents in great need in hurricane-torn areas of Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas and the Caribbean Islands throughout October. altE offers a 15% discount to anyone has been affected by the storms.

“Solar and alternative energy allow people to become quickly self-sufficient with a robust power source,” said Sascha Deri, CEO of altE. “We are providing solar power equipment at close to cost to help people immediately in areas devastated by the hurricanes. Folks can install the systems to get back up and running off grid, independently and self-contained. It also empowers communities with the opportunity to create small, more resilient micro-grids in the future that won’t have the same vulnerabilities as traditional, large, centralized utility grids.”

altE has also been working with other organizations, offering free design and expertise with heavily discounted equipment. altE has contacted many of the major solar equipment manufacturers and is currently working on obtaining discounted equipment from them to help with relief efforts.

These storms aren’t the first time that altE has stepped in to offer assistance with off grid alternative energy. Last year, altE assisted International Rescue Group as they were delivering emergency supplies to Haiti after Hurricane Matthew by building portable solar generators, which were delivered to the local mayor’s office to improve their communication.
