Through federally funded resilience projects across Puerto Rico, Pytes Pi LV1 battery systems have been deployed to help transform critical public facilities into emergency-ready shelters capable of maintaining essential operations when the grid goes down.
These projects support facilities such as senior care centers, schools, kindergartens, and other community buildings designated to serve as shelters during catastrophic events—providing reliable backup power for lighting, cooling, water access, communications, and critical daily operations.
Puerto Rico's electrical grid remains vulnerable to severe weather disruptions, particularly during hurricane season, when widespread outages can leave communities without electricity for extended periods.
For public facilities expected to function as emergency shelters, grid dependency alone is not enough. Reliable energy resilience is critical to maintaining safe indoor conditions, supporting essential services, and protecting community members during disasters.
To support these resilience initiatives, Pytes Pi LV1 systems were integrated into large-scale solar-plus-storage backup solutions designed for public emergency infrastructure.
One federally funded project involved upgrading a senior care facility in Canóvanas, Puerto Rico, which was later designated as an emergency shelter for disaster response.
System configuration:
1）3 × LuxPower 12kW inverters
2）4 × Pytes Pi LV1 battery stacks, 30 kWh per stack, 120 kWh total energy storage
3）Solar PV integration
Originally operating solely on grid power, the facility was upgraded to provide resilient backup capability for shelter operations during hurricanes and utility outages.
Pytes Pi LV1 has also been deployed in additional federally funded resilience projects supporting community emergency infrastructure across Puerto Rico.
A representative deployment includes:
1）5 × Sol-Ark 15kW hybrid inverters
2）5 × Pytes Pi LV1 battery stacks, 30 kWh per stack, 150 kWh total energy storage
3）Solar PV integration
These projects support facilities such as schools, kindergartens, senior centers, and other public buildings intended to provide emergency shelter during catastrophic events.
Public resilience projects require energy storage solutions that are scalable, reliable, and practical for mission-critical deployment.
Pytes Pi LV1 provides:
Quick Plug-and-Play Installation – Tool-free quick connectors and stackable design can reduce installation time by up to 50%, with setup in as little as 15 minutes.
Safe, Scalable & Outdoor-Ready – Tier-1 LFP cells, UL-certified safety, IP55 protection, and flexible expansion up to 245.76 kWh for diverse applications.
These systems now provide critical backup power infrastructure for vulnerable communities throughout Puerto Rico.
When grid outages occur, designated shelter facilities can continue operating with access to essential power—supporting cooling, lighting, water systems, and core building operations when communities need them most.
In regions where resilience is not optional, dependable energy storage makes all the difference.
