Perhaps our biggest success has been the million solar roof initiative (MSRI). To track the progress of MSRI, a federal registry was established by DOE. Of the total of solar systems registered in the One Million Solar Roofs program 90 % are the result of Hawaii residents install solar systems under the HECO’s solar programs. Today Hawaii has over 1300 solar system on federal facilities which is 65% of the national target of 2000 solar systems in 2000.

DOE Partnership Million Solar Roofs Registry Over 80% of the Nation’s Register Solar Roofs Are in Hawaii Over 75% of the Nation’s Federal Solar Roofs are in Hawaii With Support of the DOE, we: Held Solar Fest 2000 in May Are developing Education Curriculum for Sun Power for Schools and Smart Schools Programs Over 80% of the nation’s registered systems (8,516 out of 10,463 as of 10/4/00) are in Hawaii Over 75% of the nation’s year 2000 goal for systems installed on federal facilities (1,572 out of 2,000 as of 10/27/00) are in Hawaii

HECO is proud to be an EPA Energy Star program participant.

EPA Partnership HECO Has Brought the Energy Star Homes Program to Hawaii Qualifying Homes Are Eligible for Energy Star Loans at Lower Cost Than Conventional Loans Recruited Five Energy Star Mortgage Lenders and Eight Energy Star Builders
