Little Harvest Caye is powered by a state of the art 45,000 watt solar system, with a room full of batteries to power the island when the sun is not out making it truly off-grid. The island does have a back-up generator to provide power to the island during extended periods of rain or heavy clouds; its use is not required under normal circumstances and with reasonable use of the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms.
