Solar Financing Solutions For Your Commercial And Residential Solar Needs.

Founded in 2015, New Energy Power Hawaii is a energy power provider company that offers long-term, low-cost, solar energy to residential and business owners throughout Hawai‘i. New Energy Power Hawaii focuses on offering savings to its customers with solar generated energy which contributes to our country’s shift to clean, renewable energy.

With our Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), our customers simply agree to purchase electricity from us for the long-term at a substantially lower cost than they currently pay their utility provider. Our team is led by a group of solar professionals who work to ensure that the process of going solar is a seamless and positive experience for the customers’ transition to low cost, efficient clean energy.

Q: How does Solar Energy Work?

A: Solar Panels: The solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC)electricity throughout the day.

Inverter: This device converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into the alternating current (AC) electricity.

Electrical Panel: The AC electricity is sent from the inverter to your electrical panel to power your lights and applianceswith solar energy. The electrical panel is often called a "breaker box."

Utility Meter: The utility meter measures your energy use. It actually goes backward when your system generates more power than you immediately need. This excess solar energy offsets the energy you use at night.

Utility Grid: Your business is still connected to the grid. You’ll need that power from the utility company at night, but don’t worry. The cost is offset by any excess solar energy you put into the grid during the day.

PowerGuide Monitoring System: Our exclusive monitoring system continuously tracks your energy production and ensures that your solar power system is running smoothly. It will even alert our repair crews in the rare event that problems arise.

Q: What is a Solar Power Purchase Agreement?

A: A solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is a financial agreement where a developer arranges for the design, permitting, financing and installation of a solar energy system on a customer’s property at little to no cost. The developer sells the power generated to the host customer at a fixed rate that is typically lower than the local utility’s retail rate. This lower electricity price serves to offset the customer’s purchase of electricity from the grid while the developer receives the income from these sales of electricity as well as any tax credits and other incentives generated from the system. PPAs typically range from 10 to 25 years and the developer remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system for the duration of the agreement. At the end of the PPA contract term, a customer may be able to extend the PPA, have the developer remove the system or choose to buy the solar energy system from the developer.

Q: What are the benefits of a PPA?

A: No or low upfront capital costs: The developer handles the upfront costs of sizing, procuring and installing the solar PV system. Without any upfront investment, the host customer is able to adopt solar and begin saving money as soon as the system becomes operational.

Reduced energy costs: Solar PPAs provide a fixed, predictable cost of electricity for the duration of the agreement and are structured in one of two ways. Under the fixed escalator plan, the price the customer pays rises at a predetermined rate, typically between 2% - 5%. This is often lower than projected utility price increases. The fixed price plan, on the other hand, maintains a constant price throughout the term of the PPA saving the customer more as utility prices rise over time.

Limited risk: The developer is responsible for system performance and operating risk.

Better leverage of available tax credits: Developers are typically better positioned to utilize available tax credits to reduce system costs. For example, municipal hosts and other public entities with no taxable income would not otherwise be able to take advantage of the Section 48 Investment Tax Credit.

Potential increase in property value: A solar PV system has been shown to increase property values. The long term nature of these agreements allows PPAs to be transferred with the property and thus provides customers a means to invest in their property at little or no cost.
