Tesla's long-awaited powerplant Kauai solar power facility is now finally open for business. The solar energy-based power plant was officially launched on Friday with an enormous capacity of 13 MW SolarCity solar farm installation which would be capable of providing Powerpack storage facility with 52 MWh as a whole. Another striking note about this plant is that it has been specifically designed for the Sun soaked islands of Pacific.

According to TechCrunch, one of the most notable advantages of this solar power facility is that it can capture solar energy at the peak hours of day time when the sun rises at the highest stake and can also store the energy to apply and utilise it at the peak power consumption hours at night. The process is a new addition to the area of solar and renewable power generation. The new innovation was made possible by Tesla's Powerpack technology, which is also essential for the commercial edition of its new solar power enabled cells: Powerwall home storage batteries.

As per a report by iTech Post, Tesla will not totally be relying on solar energy only leaving out its traditional methods of power generations from fossil fuels. Hawaii will still depend on diesel shipped for its earlier power generation process. But what can be considered as a great update, the Kauai solar power plant will reduce the overall usage of fuel for power generation by approximately 1.6 million gallons per year. Therefore, this solar firm has already been considered by many experts as a potential approach to pollution control and as a next-gen environment-friendly energy generation technique.

Kauai solar power plant has also been considered by many as Tesla's best contribution to Hawaii target to use 100 percent renewable energy by the end of 2045. The solar power facility is also an accountable extension to the worldwide quest for power production through renewable energy.
