Solar Energy

We ❤ solar.  As you might have guessed, we are just so darn passionate about spreading the word when it comes to the benefits of making the switch to solar powered energy! We couldn’t be happier to see the massive growth of solar over these past few years as countless homes in Hawaii and across…

We can admit it…we’re probably a teensy bit biased when it comes to solar power. But can you really blame us? Solar energy is both renewable and cleaner for our environment, and is helping to pave the way towards a new energy future for Hawaii and the world in the decades to come. That all…

As a conscientious citizen (and loyal reader of our blog, mahalo!), you’re probably already well-in-the-know that solar powered energy is beneficial for the planet because it doesn’t produce any air pollution or carbon-based emissions. Score one for the environment! Just to recap for those of you who might have missed a blog or two along…

Here in Hawaii, we certainly have a healthy appreciation and gratitude for the ocean. From food and culture to recreation and enjoyment, so much of our lives are connected to its astounding power and abundance of resources each and every day. But did you know that the ocean also represents one of the most-promising frontiers…

There’s a lot of excitement these days about the potential of renewable energy resources, and rightfully so: the ever-increasing costs of petroleum-based energy to both the economy and for the environment continue to escalate. According to the International Energy Agency, renewable energy is expected to comprise 30% of the world’s overall energy output by 2024,…

Aloha, and welcome back! Lately we’ve been thinking a lot about the awesome potential of clean energy delivery systems (OK OK…we’re always thinking about that, but even still), and thought the time was right to share with you the exciting and ongoing developments of microgrid technology and how they can help to lead us towards…

So maybe you’ve been looking to finally make the switch to solar power, or have just been curious about how much power it takes to run the average home here on Maui. It’s a good question to ask, particularly when we consider that Hawaii has some of the highest costs for energy in the nation,…

Aloha! As always, it’s an extremely exciting time in the world of renewable energy: recently, Ford officially announced the F-150 Lightning, one of the world’s first commercially available, electric-based pickup trucks on the market. The Lightning will sport a range of up to three hundred miles per charge, along with 10,000 pounds of total towing…
