Kaiser Permanente Hawaii is installing eight solar photovoltaic systems on it's facilities over the next two years as part of a 20 percent energy savings goal and a greenhouse gas emission reduction of 30 percent over the next decade, according to an article on the Pacific Business News website.
The installation is expected to yield 3.2 million kilowatt-hours per year, or an energy savings of 10 percent.
The first system installed was a 500-panel rooftop installation at Mapunapuna. A second 117-kW system will be installed at the Koolau Medical Office in Kaneohe.
Six additional systems are planned for the Honolulu medical office and Nanaikeola and Hilo clinics.
The project is slated to complete by the end of next year.
