Most of the year, Samsø a small danish island ,produces more power from solar cells and wind turbines than what can be consumed locally. The excess power is therefore consequently exported to the mainland. However when large number of tourists comes to Samsø in summer, the number of people is sevenfold with a high concentration in the popular yacht marina in Ballen. Cooking dinner, washing clothes and listening to music dramatically increases the power consumption. This is more than the local solar panels can deliver at one time.
