The more accurate the information you can give
us, the more accurate will be the estimate. This is especially true
when it comes to the amount of your monthly electrical bill. When combined
with the name of your power company (whose rates we know), we can get
a good estimate of your existing monthly power usage. This then allows
us to determine the number of solar panels needed to provide the percentage
of solar power you specified you would like to achieve.
Hawaii free solar evaluation
A Hawaii free solar evaluation is a great step towards creating an
alternative energy home. Hawaii has great solar exposure due to its
tropical location. One of the greatest inhibitions to solar power is
snow cover, because while the sunshine can make it through clouds, a
solar panel covered in snow won’t pick up any sunlight. A rainy
climate isn’t ideal, but it is better than a snowy one.
The first step towards setting up solar panels in HI is our free solar
evaluation. It can take into account your power usage trends and local
climate, all of which alter the number of solar panels you would want
to erect. Some homes with light power usage can get away with just a
few kilowatt hours of power, while larger plots with heavier usage need
upwards of twenty.
Hawaii’s ecosystems offer an incredibly diverse arena for alternative
energy generation. There is the tropical sun, which is capable of generating
more power per square foot than sunlight in latitudes closer to the
poles. There are the tides, which have been recently harnessed to produce
tidal power. And there are the inland and sea breezes, since both mountains
and coasts create regular prevailing winds. It all adds up to an ideal
location to take advantage of alternative energy.
