Tesla is helping power a luxury lodge located sitting on the outskirts of Kruger National Park in South Africa. The luxury resort, Singita Lodge, privately owns 33,000 acres of land has on-site solar panels running on Tesla's 3,150 kilowatt-hours Powerpack system. It also powers another luxury resort on Malolo Island, a volcanic island in Fiji. The resort generates electricity via a 1-megawatt solar array powered by 20 Tesla Powerpacks.Islands
Tesla powers the entire island of Ta'u in the Samoa Island susing its solar panels and Powerpack batteries. SolarCity, which was acquired by Tesla, built a microgrid with 1.4 megawatts of solar generation capacity on the island. The microgrid relies on 60 of Tesla's Powerpacks.
The Hawaiian island of Kaua'i is also powered by 54,000 solar panels and Tesla's Powerpack batteries. Tesla installed 54,978 solar panels and 272 Powerpack batteries to power the island.

Tesla was selected by energy co Southern California Edison to build a 20-megawatt battery system that can power 2,500 households a day. It is the largest lithium ion battery storage project in the world. The system doesn't run on solar power, but is meant to offset the energy grid by taking charge during off-peak hours.
Breweries & Wineries
La Crema, a winery located in Sonoma County, California, runs on solar energy that is stored by a 1,200-kilowatt-hour Powerpack system. La Crema has an 8.4 megawatt-hour solar array that powers six different wineries.
The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company installed a Tesla Powerpack system at its craft brewery in Chico, California. The brewery has an on-site solar array composed of 10,751 panels capable of producing two megawatts of power -enough to offset 20% of the brewery's electricity consumption. Tesla has supplied the brewery with a 500-kilowatt Powerpack to store the solar energy.
