Benefits to installing a solar system for your home include saving money every month on your electric bill, utilizing free energy from the sun to avoid the cost of rising utility rates in Hawaii, and enjoying the freedom of becoming your own power producer.  Photovoltaic systems are a great hedge against inflation and you can reduce the cost of your system by taking advantage of state and local tax incentives.  To give you a better idea of how solar can benefit your home we have provided a case study:

Installing a 7kw photovoltaic system on your home would offset the electric consumption by the average Hawaii home owner, who has a monthly bill of roughly $241.00, by 69 percent.  This system would save you an estimated $1,980 in electricity in your first year!  In addition, installing such a system would aid the environment in eliminating 7.72 tons of CO2 emissions in the first year, which is the equivalent to planting 5,750 sq. ft. of trees.
