The Future of East Hawaii

[Carey]

Carrie, Prince Kuhio mall had an farm/alt. energy show on Sat., we got a lot of info on both, but the most interesting is a new system that is a direct laminate solar panel onto a roofing panel. It is membrane technology, which so far seems to be a better system for the partly cloudys we get here, and the best part: if you are new const., or reroofing, the roof is an intergral part of your system for tax credits & no interest loans. (also is much harder to steal, solar theft is a problem that had closed the Girl Scout camp in Ka'u! They are now partly open with generators.) It is still mega bucks for the system, but the cost can be defrayed by the $$ saving on electric, and the credits & 0 interest loans, which are super for home & commercial businesses, but still help buy down the purchase price on residential applications .... Now we just need to get the plans drawn up for our solar lanai...
Aloha, Carey
