Many Hawaii homeowners have made solar money by adding solar to their homes. The microclimates of Hawaii can greatly affect the amount of sunlight reaching certain parts of the house. A site survey is essential to ensure accurate production. Once the site survey is complete, Sunrun will work with a team of engineers on the island to finalize your system design.
Brightbox
The Sunrun Hawaii Brightbox solar battery system was recently installed at the home of HECO customer Anthony Aalto in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hawaiian Gov. David Ige and Hawaii Electric CEO Kirk Caldwell. Brightbox is available for new Hawaiian solar customers on monthly or prepaid leases. Although the current price for a Brightbox system in Oahu is $0.19/kWh at present, that will decrease as oil and natural gases prices decline. Brightbox can not only provide solar power but also power the grid and stabilize it.
Brightbox batteries cost $7,500-8,500. Prices do not include installation costs or solar panels. The Brightbox is either available to be bought outright or leased. It also comes with a 20 year full service contract. The Brightbox battery can be installed inside or outside the home. There are many configurations and sizes available from Brightbox.
Monthly lease
Sunrun is the best place to find a monthly lease on a Hawaii solar energy system. The company offers residential lease plans in all parts of the state, even Kauai. Solar plans are also available with battery storage so that you don't get left behind.
Sunrun offers two payment options. You can choose between power purchase agreements or monthly leases. The monthly leases allow you to start saving energy immediately. They come with monitoring and insurance, as well a Performance Guarantee. And, unlike traditional solar leases, you can transfer your lease to someone else at any time.
Power purchase agreement
Sunrun will be able to earn credits under the Hawaiian Electric program in exchange for delivering electricity from customers' solar systems. Sunrun will benefit from this revenue stream to develop and expand its home sun products. Hawaiian Electric customers will benefit from the credits they receive on their electricity bills as well.
The company, which is the U.S.'s leading provider of home solar and storage batteries, is seeking to enter growing markets for grid services. The company will supply electricity from its virtual power station of solar panels, batteries through this agreement. The Federal Solar Tax Credit will also benefit the company.
