I think it would be interesting to read about the decision process that decided on the 1.4MW of power generation to 6MWh of storage ratio. This is around 1:4.2h. Is this ratio very specific to Ta’u island, with their usage patterns, or can this ratio be used as a guide for future installations? I'm guessing that Ta'u has not as much technology that stays on overnight, and a more realistic ratio would be 1:6h or more.

Anyway, this is a great proof of tech.
