Project Snapshots

East Hawai'i (Glenwood)

Arion and Pivot Energy hope to provide the cost-saving benefits of solar directly to residents in East Hawai'i. The project would generate 500 kilowatts of electricity, which could allow 100 families to subscribe to shared solar.

The proposed project is located north of South Glenwood Road, outlined in the yellow border, and is accessible via a private drive.

OUR PROCESS

How Shared Solar Works

Shared solar, also called Community Based Renewable Energy (CBRE), is a program where customers can subscribe to participate in local solar energy projects and receive solar bill credits, reducing the cost of their electric bills.

Projects on the island will provide clean, renewable energy and guaranteed savings to households as well as local businesses.

Based on archaeological and field studies, these projects are not expected to impact cultural activities, archaeological, or natural resources. However, we welcome comments from residents in the surrounding communities.
