SCHEDULE UPDATE:

Aloha from the SolarCoaster!

For everyone as exited as we are to discuss RE+ Hawaii and Maui’s Energy future, please be aware we have had a scheduling change to Wednesday (tomorrow) 10:00 AM at the Speakers Corner. This is on Level 1 of the expo hall and there’s only about 50 chairs available so come early to grab your seat!

Session details:

Join the SolarCoaster to reflect on Maui’s recent wildfire tragedy, including any early lessons learned. Our guests will also discuss the grid on Maui, the history of DER in Hawaii, the regulatory framework, and potential changes in the future.

We plan to highlight the upcoming RE + Hawaii event in January 24 where we can discuss in far more detail the challenges and opportunities in the country’s first 100% renewable energy mandate and how Lahaina's rebuild could incorporate a more DER friendly grid.

Moving on to the show floor, this was our first interview on day 1. Panasonic has always made great modules - now they are taking that approach to solar plus. I like the warranties applied across the board.
