Solar Under Storm IIIUpdated best practices for resilient ground-mount PV systems with hurricane exposureReport / June 2025“Robust solar abundancy coupled with annual hurricane vulnerability is a reality the USVI must grapple with in order to holistically relieve the energy burdens inherent to our historically fossil fuel dependent power system. As we lean further into solar becoming the backbone of our centralized and decentralized energy systems, it’s imperative that Category 5 resilient installation standards are upheld. Building solar systems to withstand the inevitable hurricane, ensures the ‘blue sky’ operational benefits of solar continue to support our community especially after the darkest of days.”— Kyle Fleming, Director of the US Virgin Islands Energy OfficeFailed solar installation on Carriacou, Grenada, in July 2025.
