With summer upon us, it’s crucial to stay informed about Hawaiian Electric’s Public Safety Power Shutoffs. These shut-offs are designed to prevent wildfires during periods of high winds and dry conditions. However, they could leave homeowners without power for extended stretches. Eric Carlson from RevoluSun explains how battery storage solutions can help you stay powered during these times.
Preparation
The areas most at risk for PSPS are on the West side of Oahu, starting in Makakilo, extending through Makaha and reaching around the corner to Mokuleia. In these regions, unexpected and potentially long-lasting power outages could occur. The policy allows Hawaiian Electric to shut off power during high-risk weather conditions, often with little warning. This makes having a reliable backup power source more crucial than ever.
Battery storage systems
RevoluSun’s battery storage systems are designed to store surplus solar energy, which can be used anytime the grid goes down. This ensures essential home systems such as refrigeration, lighting, cooling and security networks continue to operate smoothly, keeping homes safe and comfortable during outages. The ability to maintain power for these critical systems is a significant benefit for any household.
Additional benefits
Beyond emergency preparedness, investing in a battery storage system offers several other advantages. One key benefit is the ability to use stored energy during peak energy tariff hours. When electricity rates are at their highest, this significantly reduces electricity costs. Homeowners can draw on their stored energy when electricity rates are highest, saving money on their utility bills.
Affordability
Financing large home improvements is a big decision, one that more than 100,000 Hawaii residents have made over the past 20 years. RevoluSun’s team is committed to making energy resilience accessible to everyone. The company partners with numerous local financial institutions to offer a variety of flexible financing solar leasing options. This approach makes investing in solar and battery storage not only affordable but also straightforward, allowing customers to achieve energy independence.
