This Saturday (March 28), local solar companies RevoluSun and Sunetric are hosting open house tours of homes in Lanikai and Kailua that have installed photovoltaic and/or solar hot water systems on their properties (Star-Bulletin article). This is a great opportunity to learn about home solar systems, talk to homeowners and installers, ask questions about installation and financing, and begin the journey toward installing solar for your own household, business, or faith community buildings. The Star-Bulletin article also has links to resources for those interested in installing a solar system for their home.

Help for Financing Home Solar Systems
The state of Hawaii is considering employing a "Property Assessed Clean Energy" bond fund to provide loans to homeowners to pay for the cost of installing solar hot water and photovoltaic electricity systems. The loans would be repaid through property tax assessments, and the loan would stay with the property, not the homeowner. Although there are concerns it would add to the state's debt, helping homeowners overcome the barrier of the high upfront costs would create green jobs and strengthen Hawaii's still small but rapidly growing renewable energy sector...more at the The Honolulu Advertiser.
