Hawaii Energy offers limited time
BONUS rebates for qualified residential solar hot water installations
Hawaii Energy offers limited time BONUS rebates for qualified residential solar hot water installations.
HONOLULU (March 17, 2011) – For a limited time, starting March 21, 2011, Hawaii residents on Oahu, Maui County and Hawaii Island will be able to take advantage of rebates up to $1,750 when they replace their old electric water heaters with solar water heaters. The increased rebates are made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and State Energy Program (SEP) fund, and will be available through May 31, 2011 or until the funds are exhausted.
The bonus rebates apply to all retrofit installations that are not already pre-approved by Hawaii Energy and are purchased between March 21 and May 31, 2011. Residents have two simple options for the offer:
FINANCED SYSTEMS
Under Hawaii Energy’s “Hot Water, Cool Rates”, Program, Hawaii residents who finance a new solar water heating system to replace their old electric water heater through a participating lender will now receive a bonus instant rebate of $750 for completing a simple questionnaire aimed at improving Hawaii Energy’s programs. The program currently offers select financial institutions a $1,000 incentive to buy-down the interest rate to 0% or a low rate for borrowers. This brings the total amount of assistance to $1,750.
CASH PURCHASED SYSTEMS
For Hawaii residents who replace their electric water heater with a solar water heating system, without financing through the “Hot Water, Cool Rates” Program, receive this limited time bonus rebate of $750. This will double the current $750 instant rebate to $1,500.

'The Perfect Match'– Sanyo & Enphase
Watts Verse KiloWatt Hours - How can we get the most power output with limited area available on our roof?
The word is out and people are flocking to purchase photovoltaic (PV) systems to reduce or eliminate their electrical bills. There are virtually unlimited amount of products available today for residential applications and many companies are touting the amount of electricity that their panels produce. This is only part of the equation; once the panels produce electrical power, that power needs to be converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and delivered into your electrical panel. Choosing the right combination of products to produce the most energy can be challenging, but there is one combination that is clearly the best one available now. We call it the “'Perfect Match.'
Sanyo panels and Enphase micro inverters are designed for each other and together they truly perform better than any other product that is currently available. We have known for a while now that this combination delivered the most power to a typical household and we have been able to compare systems though remote monitoring, but we never had our system monitored on the same roof with the same exact conditions until recently. A customer called to request that we add more PV panels to her roof. She had purchased a system from another vendor approximately a year ago. The company provided her with nine solar panels and micro inverters. She was told that this was the highest DC watt panel she could purchase with a micro inverter. As a result she had averaged a little less than 1 kWh per panel per day. This combination produces on average 250 kWh a month, or reduction of $62.50 from her electric bill. This left her with an average monthly electric bill of $110.00
We suggested that she add eight of our Sanyo panels with the ‘Perfect Match’ Enphase micro inverters. This second system (with one less panel) has been producing an average of 1.3 kilowatts a day, 312kWh per month, or $78.00 per month in savings. Our ‘Perfect Match’ of products is delivering over 32% more power than the other products. This translates to $186.00 a year more, per panel! A typical residential system consists of anywhere between 10-30 panels, which means our “Perfect Match” will potentially produce 1,860.00 to 5,580.00 more in annual savings over any of the other systems currently available. These others systems may produce more watts per panel on your roof, but they deliver substantially less kilowatt hours to your electrical system, where it really matters.
Another huge advantage in the ‘Perfect Match’system is that you can produce and deliver the most savings from the smallest footprint so smaller rooftops and challenging applications will truly want to look at the best system available. Give us a call today so that we can show you how our “Perfect Match” system can save you the most money possible.
Several local banks and credit unions are currently offering special financing for Solar Water Heating Systems through their Energy Smart Loan Program. This gives the customer 5 years of interest free financing, as long as a Hawaii energy approved contractor is used. A 5 year loan at 0% interest would not only allow you to save money while paying for your system, it allows one to take advantage of the tax credits before the system is even fully paid for!

Free Hot Water:
Too good
to be true?
The Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) market has really started to take off and the idea of generating your own electricity for free is a great one. Did you know that it takes approximately 18 solar PV panels to offset the cost of heating hot water for a typical household? By far, the most cost effective way to take advantage of solar power is to install a Solar Hot Water System.
The return on investment (ROI) for a typical Residential Solar Hot Water System is currently a little over 2 years and 2 months, with existing tax credits factored in. After that period, you will have paid for your system and continue to save money for the life of the system. Even if you wanted to install a Solar PV System, 18 less panels would be needed if you had a Solar Hot Water System!
It was also just announced that Hawaii Electric has doubled the cash rebate of newly purchased solar hot water installations to $1,500 cash back! Homeowners will also have the option for the newly introduced $1,000 interest free loan when choosing the standard $750 cash rebate. The increased rebate is a federal funded stimulus grant that will only be offered now though May 31st 2011.

Solutions
People often ask how much money can be saved by installing solar products in their home. It can be difficult to understand how beneficial and cost effective these systems are without understanding the basic facts about solar and the available options. Below you will find more information to help facilitate some of the beneficial cost effective decisions one can make.
HECO’s rates for residential electric services are difficult to interpret due to fluctuating fuel costs. A typical household on Oahu uses approximately 600 KWH (Kilowatt hours) of electricity each month, translating into a $175.00 HECO bill. If a home has an electric water heater, the most cost effective way to reduce your electric bill is to install a Solar Hot Water System. A ten panel system will typically eliminate $90.00 from that same monthly bill. After subsidies and incentives are factored, it takes only 3.5 years to recoup the cost of that newly installed Solar Hot Water System and only 6.5 years to recoup the cost of the Solar Electric System.
Solar Hot Water Systems are extremely effective in many areas of Hawaii. EnergyPro Hawaii will not only provide an instant $750.00 credit through participating solar hot water contractors, they will also provide a free 100 point inspection of the new system to insure years of hassle free service.
A Solar Electric System would be the next best step in reducing your electricity costs. Technological advances in solar panels and new micro inverters convert DC into AC power at every panel, helping to dramatically increase energy efficiency. Most manufacturers offer the monitoring of the system’s electrical production and instantly assist in the event of a malfunction. PV panel manufacturers typically warrant a production level of 90% after 10 years and 80% after twenty years or more!
One can only imagine the cost of electricity in the future. The “green impact” of solar goes beyond financial savings. EnergyPro Hawaii offers the latest technology and the most cost effective solar products available. Our Heliodyne Hot Water Systems have a proven track record of over 30 years. Our Solar Electric Systems, Enphase micro inverters and Sanyo Dual layered PV panels, have proven to have the most bang for the buck and out produce any PV panel/micro inverter combo being installed today. For those that can’t take advantage of solar, EnergyPro Hawaii installs tankless gas water heaters and specializes in other energy saving solutions.
