San Luis Obispo, Calif. — REC Solar, a rapidly growing provider of residential and commercial solar electric systems, and Mitsubishi Electric have announced the completion of Hawaii’s two largest solar installations for the Costco Wholesale locations in Kauai and Kona. The two systems, which are 680 kilowatts (DC) each, hold the distinction of being the biggest solar arrays in the state of Hawaii to date. Collectively, these systems will generate enough electricity to power 250 homes. Mitsubishi solar panels were used in both installations.
Inspired by generous government rebates and tax incentives, other businesses in Hawaii have followed Costco’s lead and are now installing solar electric systems as well. Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle recently pledged her commitment to the solar industry by announcing plans to install large-scale solar electric systems on a number of government buildings.
