Hawaii Pacific Solar is installing a 150 kW total solar photovoltaic system on three buildings of Napili Kai Beach Resort & Sea House Restaurant.  This project will be done under a Power Purchase Agreement which includes the installation, an annual 20 year maintenance of the system, and a 20 year warranty on the solar photovoltaic system’s solar panels and hardware.  All of these costs are figured into the price per Kilowatt hour that Napili Kai Beach Resort will be paying within the 20 year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Napili Kai Beach Resort will save approximately $732,000 over the 20 years, producing annually an average of 200,237 kWh of electricity with no upfront costs to Napili Kai Beach Resort for the solar photovoltaic system.

Most, if not all of those fossil fuels come from foreign sources.

Why is solar an important energy solution in Hawaii?

    • Hawaii ranks #1 in the nation with the highest utility rates.
    • Hawaii consistently provides climate with sun-filled days making it an ideal location to harness the power of the sun.
    • Federal & state financial solar incentives are available.
        • Additional Benefits of Solar:

      • Solar provides better control of the cost for electricity over the life of the solar system.
      • Makes clear to the public your environmental commitment by producing clean electricity.
      • Offers flexible expansion if your needs change.
      • Supports the local economy and generates new jobs.
      • Produces back-up power in a blackout, if storage capacity is added

This two year project will be done under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the installation and maintenance done by HPS at no cost to the DOE.  The DOE contract for the total expandable 20 schools provide a total of 2 megawatts of photovoltaic systems.

In September of 2011 HPS began the implementation of a solar photovoltaic system on the first 4 High Schools in Oahu. These four schools are located in different school districts and include: Aiea High School, Kahuku High School, Kaimuki High School and Waianae High School.
