Lanai's La Ola Solar Farm
The island is now home to the state's largest
single-site solar farm, built on former pineapple
land. Currently up to 500 kilowatts of energy;
expected to rise to 1.2 megawatts upon the
installation of three battery containers by June,
enough to provide up to 30 percent of Lanai's
daily peak power needs.

| The Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative is charting a new path toward an energy-independent future for Hawai‘i. Today, imported oil supplies 90% of Hawai‘i's energy. Our dependence on oil threatens our most precious resources—the land, air, and water that sustain us. And it places our economic security at risk. Simply stated, our current way of meeting our energy needs is not sustainable. We must alter our course. A partnership between the state of Hawai‘i and the U.S. Department of Energy launched in 2008, the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative is bringing together business leaders, policy makers, and concerned citizens committed to leading Hawai‘i to energy independence. The Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative aims to transform Hawai‘i into a world model for energy independence and sustainability. Our goal is to meet 70% of Hawai‘i's energy needs with clean energy by 2030. Click HERE to visit website |

Hawaii may depend on bonds to help finance home solar systems
Program would help homeowners pay for renewable energy
Honolulu Advertiser 3/7/10
Trying to nudge homeowners to convert to solar power and reduce dependency on electricity, Gov.
Linda Lingle and state lawmakers may authorize state bonds that would finance loans to cover the
upfront cost of installation.
Cost is a barrier for many homeowners interested in solar, despite federal and state tax incentives and
utility rebates available to help make renewable energy more affordable.
A solar heating water system costs about $6,500 to $7,000, according to the Hawai'i Solar Energy
Association. The out-of-pocket expense for homeowners, after the tax credits and rebates, is about
$2,000. A more extensive photovoltaic system costs between $15,000 and $60,000, with the
out-of-pocket expense about half that amount after tax credits.
Under the bond-financing program, homeowners would get loans that would be repaid through
assessments on their county property tax bills. The loans would be attached to the property, not the
homeowner, and would remain if the property is sold.
