Many homeowners in Hawaii have added solar to their homes for financial reasons. It's important to note, however, that the microclimates on the island can drastically alter the amount of sunlight that reaches certain parts of the home. For accurate production, it is crucial to have a site study. Sunrun will collaborate with engineers from the island once the site survey has been completed to finalize the system design.
Brightbox
HECO customer Anthony Aalto had recently the Sunrun Hawaii Brightbox solar panel system installed at their Honolulu home. The installation was attended by Hawaiian Gov. David Ige and Hawaii Electric CEO Kirk Caldwell were present at the installation. The Brightbox system is available for new solar customers in Hawaii on prepaid or monthly leases at a cost below the cost of utility power. 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 are available for purchase from $7,500 up to $8,500. It does not include the cost installation or solar panels. The Brightbox is available for purchase or lease and comes with a 20-year warranty and full service. Brightbox batteries can be used inside or outside of the house. There are several configurations and sizes of batteries available.
