Aerowave builds hybrid solar-plus-wind resilience systems engineered for Puerto Rico's grid, its salt air and its storm season. Solar and battery carry the day. Where your site has the wind for it, a turbine carries the night.
Pilot cohort · illustrative
Island electricity runs near $0.28 per kWh — roughly double the mainland average — and the grid still drops. Solar-only systems handle the sunny hours beautifully and then hand the problem straight back at sunset, or during the week-long rainy stretches when a battery alone runs thin.
Meanwhile the island's real wind resource is locked up in utility-scale projects that no homeowner or shop owner can buy into.

PR households pay roughly twice the US average per kilowatt-hour, and rates have trended up, not down.
0 kWh
A solar-only array produces nothing at night — exactly when a household's demand peaks and a battery starts draining.
24/7
Consistent easterly wind runs day and night across much of the island's coast and ridgelines.

Panels, battery and turbine bought separately means three warranties and nobody owning the outcome.
We lead with what actually pays off — solar and storage — then add wind where the site genuinely justifies it. No turbine gets sold to a property that can't feed it.
Layer 01
Every Aerowave install starts with the thing that pays for itself fastest: high-efficiency rooftop PV paired with a lithium battery sized to carry your critical loads overnight.
Layer 02
We add a turbine when, and only when, your site clears our wind threshold. Coastal and ridge properties keep generating through the cloudy, rainy nights that flatten a solar-only system.
Aerowave Hybrid Controller
Layer 03
Sun, wind, battery and grid are managed by a single hybrid controller and covered by a single Aerowave contract — no finger-pointing between three vendors when something trips.
National solar installers stop at the roof. Utility wind farms aren't for sale to a household. Aerowave is property-scale hybrid generation, delivered as one system.

We model 12 months of wind and irradiance for your exact coordinates, then tell you honestly whether wind belongs on your site. Free, and roughly 4 in 10 sites get a 'solar-only' answer.
A single design covering array, battery, optional turbine, mast foundation and interconnection — with a modelled bill before and after, at today's $0.28/kWh.
Our crews handle municipal permits and the utility interconnection. Typical install runs 3–5 days for solar+battery, plus 2 days when a turbine is included.
Live production monitoring, an annual turbine inspection and a pre-season storm check before every hurricane season — included for the life of the plan.
A typical Aerowave residential or small-commercial system — equipment, mast, battery and installation — runs about $30,000, spread across a twelve-month plan. Measured against a $0.28/kWh grid rate, most modelled sites offset a substantial share of that payment from the first month.

“Two solar companies quoted us and both ignored that we live on a windy point. Aerowave modelled it, added a turbine, and now the house rides through the rainy weeks without touching the grid.”
“We used to lose a cooler of inventory every long outage. The battery covers the fridges and the turbine tops it up overnight. The bill dropped about a third in the first quarter.”
“What sold me was that they told me wind was borderline on my lower parcel and moved the mast up the ridge instead of just selling me hardware. That kind of honesty is rare here.”
Sample stories shown while our first installation cohort completes its pilot year.
Both, honestly. Solar is the cheaper first kilowatt-hour almost everywhere on the island, which is why every Aerowave system leads with solar and battery. Wind earns its place on coastal, ridge and open-valley sites with consistent trade winds — roughly 6 in 10 of the properties we assess. If your site doesn't clear our wind threshold, we will tell you and quote solar-only.
A typical residential or small-commercial Aerowave system — equipment plus installation — lands around $30,000, offered as a flat $3,000 per month over a 12-month plan with no balloon payment. Against a $0.28/kWh grid rate, most of our modelled sites offset a large share of that monthly figure from day one.
Turbines are specified for the island's wind loading and stow automatically above roughly 110 mph, with a manual lock-down procedure documented for your crew. Masts are engineered with site-specific foundations. Before every season we run a free pre-storm inspection on every system we've installed.
Yes, within the limits of your battery and your critical-load panel. We size storage around what you actually need to keep running — refrigeration, water pump, internet, medical equipment, point-of-sale — rather than your whole house. Solar recharges by day; where wind is installed, it recharges overnight too.
Solar-only installers stop at the roof, so your production stops with the sun and long rainy stretches eat your battery. Utility wind projects like Punta Lima are grid-scale and not available to an individual property. Aerowave sits in the gap: property-scale hybrid generation, one design, one contract, one warranty.
You need to own or have long-term rights to the property. Roof-mounted solar needs a structurally sound roof, and a turbine needs a setback from property lines that varies by municipality — we check both during the free site assessment before anything is quoted.
Tell us where you are. We'll model a year of wind and sun at your coordinates and send back an honest read — including the answer “solar-only” if that's what your site says.
Currently onboarding 18 installations across the island, scaling to 140 by 2028.
