July Programs

Speaker: John Borland

Topic: Solar and Energy Storage Economics

John returns to eaH and will explain how low-income families, the “Have Nots” can lower their monthly utility bill by 39-90%, with 2-5 year paybacks and then Free Electricity for Life.  His Molokai and Oahu case study examples of those that adopt residential Nano-Grid renewable energy systems i.e. Off-Grid Battery-Only or Off-Grid Battery + Balcony-Solar or Grid-Tie Solar + Battery demonstrate the Economics of this Energy Equity.  However, this requires the Utilities bring back the option for residential daytime Time-of-Use rates of 15¢/kWh and educating families on best practices for home renewable energy use to maximize and sustain monthly utility bill savings including Direct Load Control with Smart Internet of Thing devices.
