Tabuchi to Sponsor Puerto Rico SEIA’s Inaugural Summit

Intelligent Distributed Energy and "Pilots of the Caribbean" Micro
Grid Program

SAN JOSE, Calif. & SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tabuchi America, the world’s leading residential hybrid
solar-plus-storage manufacturer, announced today that the company is
sponsoring and presenting at the Puerto Rico Solar Energy Industry
Association’s inaugural Clean Energy Summit in Puerto Rico. The event
will be held at the San Juan Marriott Hotel on February 1st and 2nd,
2018.

“The extensive damage to the grid and the costs associated with
rebuilding Puerto Rico’s traditional power distribution system made it
clear that the Distributed Energy Resources should be part of the
restoration plan,” said Harumi McClure, COO and President of Tabuchi
America. “We’re pleased to see the EIBS serving as a critical component
for restoring power at community facilities, and as a building block for
advanced and resilient micro grids on the islands,” McClure added.

With our vast experiences with Fukushima and other natural disasters in
Japan, Tabuchi is well positioned to collaborate and lead the power
restoration plans. As a call to action shortly after hurricane Maria
devastated the island last October 2017, Tabuchi donated Eco Intelligent
Battery Systems (EIBS) to schools, clinics, and other not-for-profit
organizations. The EIBS systems allowed host sites to generate and store
their solar power while the grid was down.

Tabuchi has also assembled a group of industry partners, local solar
companies, and volunteers to facilitate the installation of advanced
solar+ storage systems at host sites in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean
Islands. The company’s joint “Pilots of the Caribbean” micro grid
program has grown to include more than a dozen industry partners
donating time, material and expertise to implement solar+ storage
projects on several Caribbean Islands.
