Well, they were/are bankrupt and the electrical grid was junk.
To build a new grid will take many months/years.
I do not think solar panels are the answer, but might as well build some small scale experimental installs

You are correct; Wind farms are.
Ever look at a map of PR? They don’t need a grid, distributed generation will work fine, maybe with a coastal loop.
Antiquated power grid at best as evidenced by all the above ground power lines blown down.
Their power plant is still intact but no means to transfer power to the people.
Imagine the long term results if PR were dependent on solar..........
