No controller or equipment model was found in the reviewed public sources. This is a disclosure gap, not evidence that the project lacks coordinated controls.

Recovered detail

Additional technical notes

Concise system facts recovered from the historical project record. Treat these as historical unless a newer primary source confirms them.

  • Management

    Under normal operation, the batteries and solar array should be able to supply 90% of all the energy needed by Islas Secas. [1]

  • Storage

    Similar to a plug-in Prius, the PV array (and batteries) power all the island’s systems, 365 days of the year. [1]

  • Generation

    Islas Secas is powered a 355kW PV array located next to the island’s air strip. [1]

  • Generation

    For heavy loads or unexpected bad weather, the system can call on two 200kW diesel generators at any time. [1]
