Hawaii solar photovoltaic energy (PV)
Installed in 2001, a 250 kW PowerLight system at the Mauna Lani Resort (their fourth large PV system) will provide power for irrigation of the resort's two golf courses. Also, 122 of the Mauna Lani's golf cars are SunCaddies: they have PV panels on top, to help charge the batteries for extended play time. ... The Mauna Lani Bay Resort's first 100 kilowatt photovoltaic system (100 kW DC, 75 kW AC) was installed in May of 1998. The PV cells are mounted on insulating roof tiles, which reduces heat gain through the roof and reduces the air conditioning load. (This means that the PV tiles help in two ways: they produce electricity AND help save electricity!) The project was partially funded by the Utility Photovoltaic Group. Components are from the PowerGuard system and installed by PowerLight Corporation . The system is rated to withstand 140 mile per hour winds. Time from contract to completion was 5 months; actual construction took 2 weeks and testing took one week. Expected energy production is 423 kWh per day. Measured roof temperature reduction was over 60 degrees (from about 160 to about 100 degrees) Farenheit. ... [Read More]

Hawaii's Sister States/Province Program
In contrast to other Hawaii sisters where the pattern has been a strong cultural history leading to the Sister relationship, with hopes that a strong economic relationship would result thereafter, in the case of Taiwan, the economic relationship was already established before the formal Sister agreement in 1993. Indeed, over the years, there have been few, if any, overseas locations that have seen more cultural and economic activity with Hawaii. These activities have included business missions, educational and special promotional fairs, cultural exchanges, investor seminars, media productions and gubernatorial visits. During the period from 1997 to 2000, Taiwanese immigrant-investors showed great interest in DBEDT's Immigrant-Investor program. During this period, approximately $30 million in new investment was attracted to Hawaii.Such was the great volume of activity between Taiwan and Hawaii that DBEDT opened the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei in 1994 to take advantage of the rapid ...
