For most dwellings, solar panels are the only source of electricity on Taquille. Not a great problem, though, as it is extremely sunny and extremely hot, requiring plenty of sun block. It was like this every day we were here, but at this altitude you might still need to wrap up to go out for the evening. The temperature swing over 24 hours can be huge.
