Colorado State University has forecasted an “extremely active” Atlantic hurricane season, anticipating the highest number of hurricanes since 1995. Concerns arise over potential power interruptions, particularly affecting critical services like hospitals and law enforcement. Maxeon Solar Technologies advocates for solar power systems as resilient solutions during challenging conditions. Salt Energy, a Maxeon Commercial Partner in Florida, specializes in designing and installing hurricane-resistant commercial and community solar systems featuring Maxeon panels. These panels can withstand winds up to 180 mph, ensuring reliability during extreme weather events. Maxeon claims that Salt Energy’s Maxeon panel-powered projects demonstrate exceptional hurricane resilience and energy production. Notable installations include a CREF Award-winning system in Montserrat and a record-breaking project at Badia Spices in Miami, Florida.
