A photovoltaic battery system at the University of Hawaiʻi Marine Center has been proving its value by keeping the power on while reducing the electricity bill.
The “Net Zero project could be first in nation for college campus” editorial by University of Hawaiʻi Maui College Chancellor Lui K. Hokoana ran in The Maui News on June 23, 2019.
Students created abstracts, videos and infographics in collaboration with Blue Planet Foundation to promote renewable energy and sustainability in Hawaiʻi.
The photovoltaic canopy project is expected to save the university between $2 million to $8 million over its lifetime, depending on future energy costs.
The innovative renewable energy initiative will help the university achieve its net-zero energy goal and bring more cost-effective, renewable energy resources to the state.
