Tesla’s Batteries are Fueling Everything from the islands to Breweries

Tesla is serving power a luxury lodge located inactive on the outskirts of Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The luxury resort, Singita Lodge, confidentially owns 33,000 acres of land has on-site solar panels operating on Tesla’s 3,150 kilowatt-hours Powerpack system. It also controls another luxury resort on Malolo Island, a volcanic island in Fiji. The resort creates electricity via a 1-megawatt solar array power-driven by 20 Company Powerpacks. Tesla’s batteries are fueling everything from the islands to breweries in the Eastern Cape safari region.
Company powers the entire island of Ta’u in the Samoa Islands by its solar panels and Powerpack batteries. SolarCity, which was developed by Company , built a microgrid with 1.4 megawatts of solar generation volume on the island. The microgrid depends on 60 of Tesla’s Powerpack.
The Hawaiian island of Kaua’i is also powered by 54,000 solar panels and Tesla’s Powerpack batteries. Company connected 54,978 solar panels and 272 Powerpack batteries to control the island.
Tesla was designated by energy company Southern California Edison to shape a 20-megawatt battery system that can power 2,500 households a day. It is the main lithium ion battery storage project in the world. The system doesn’t run on solar power but is meant to balance the energy grid by taking charge during off-peak hours.
La Crema, a winery situated in Sonoma County, California, runs on solar energy that is warehoused by a 1,200-kilowatt-hour Powerpack system. La Crema has an 8.4 megawatt-hour solar array that controls six different wineries.
The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company connected a Company Powerpack system at its craft brewery in Chico, California. The brewery has an on-site solar array composed of 10,751 panels capable of creating two megawatts of power -enough to balance 20% of the brewery’s electricity consumption. Tesla has provided the brewery with a 500-kilowatt Powerpack to collect the solar energy.
