generated per year
1.58
MW DC
UHMC’s ground mount system is now the newest and 3rd largest on Maui with 3360 Sunpower 470W modules, 1.58MWh. With the addition of this PV system UHMC will be going net zero as a campus. The precast concrete bases are designed and manufactured on Maui by HNU. This installation features Sunpower’s high efficiency PV panels and HNU’s custom SCADA product just like UHMC’s carport system.
UH Maui College Carport

Modules
1 GWh
generated per year
753
kW DC
Between 2013 and 2015, HNU Energy designed and built the largest PV system on Maui at the University of Hawaii Maui College. Each of the carport structures is over a football field long and collectively the PV panels cover over an acre of space. The precast concrete structures are designed and manufactured on Maui by HNU. A custom-built inverter building, the precast structural members, plus all marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel components ensure longevity in this highly corrosive environment. This installation features high efficiency Sunpower PV panels and HNU’s custom SCADA product.
University of Hawai'i Moloka'i
182
Modules
119.2 MWh
generated per year
65
KW DC
A 65 kW grid-tied system that HNU installed at Molokai Education Center. A big part of the project was to provide 30 hours of field training to 5 MEC interns. The interns were trained to self-perform the installation of solar racking equipment, DC wiring, modules, inverter, etc. under direct supervision of a qualified HNU team. In parallel, the interns obtained 15 hours of classroom training to learn about common industry practices involved in moving a typical solar PV project from project development to commissioning, under current market and policy landscape. The project was ahead of schedule thanks to the quick learning capabilities, aptitude and hard work of all interns and crew involved.
