Home Energy Storage Solutions in the Cook Islands Direct Sales Reliable Power

Why Cook Islands Households Need Energy Storage Now

With over 90% of Cook Islands' electricity generated from imported diesel, homeowners face two critical challenges: sky-high energy costs and unreliable grid access. Solar-powered energy storage systems have become the go-to solution, with installations increasing by 67% since 2020 according to Pacific Energy Council data.

"A home battery isn't just backup power – it's an insurance policy against blackouts and rising fuel prices," says Teina Marsters, a Rarotonga-based renewable energy advisor.
