WHEN THE ENERGY SYSTEMS USED BY THE RESORT FAIL
OR MALFUNCTION, THE BACKUP GENERATOR PROVIDES
POWER FOR THE RESORTS FUNCTIONING. HOWEVER,
THIS IS LARGELY REDUNDANT, AS THE RESORT RELIES
PRIMARILY ON SOLAR POWER WHICH, ON STORAGE, IS
RELIABLE ENOUGH TO POWER THE RESORT FOR NIGHT
TIME AND ON CLOUDY DAYS.
