Bonterra Solar powers up Simply Storage

Submitted by CommPac on Tuesday, May 21st, 5:20 pm

HONOLULU – Bonterra Solar has completed the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at Simply Storage of Hawaii. The new system, powered by 298 PV panels manufactured by U.S.-based Solar World, will help the Iwilei self-storage company significantly reduce its energy costs.

In its first year, the new PV system is expected to save Simply Storage over $29,000 in electrical costs.

“With Bonterra’s no-money-down financing option we were able to cut our monthly electrical cost by 40 to 50 percent which has allowed us to increase our cash flow,” said Simply Storage owner Todd Middleton, who also hired Bonterra to install a photovoltaic system on his house. “In today’s tough economic times, cash flow is vital to a business’s success.”

Power restored to Kaneohe residents after outage

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Tuesday, May 14th, 4:22 am

KANEOHE, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Hawaiian Electric Company crews finished replacing a wooden pole and overhead lines that had been damaged by a fire near Windward Community College at around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, restoring power to all customers who had been affected by the outage.

Initially, about 5,000 residential customers lost power. Service was restored to most of them in about 45 minutes, but 500 customers in the Hokulele and Crown Terrace subdivisions were without power while crews finished repairs.

When Martha Kaimana came home from work, she was frustrated when nothing turned on.

"I wasn't happy and then what am I going do and I'm looking all over the place for flashlights and batteries. Only my neighbors have a generator," said the Hokulele subdivision resident.

Many families in her neighborhood are turned to pizza deliveries or take-out food for dinner.
