Pearl Homes CEO Marshall Gobuty has been on a mission to create solar-powered communities that are essentially outage-proof during hurricanes.

After years of research and development, it's finally coming to fruition with Hunters Point, an 86-development located within Cortez, Florida. The area is not only a flood zone, but also a hurricane hot spot. For Gobuty, it was the perfect area to test whether a community running on clean energy could keep its lights on during hurricanes.

Rather than being locked into the local power company's grid, Gobuty told FOX Business that Hunters Point has its own independent battery and power system.
