On January 23, 1998, McKinley High School became the third Oahu school to receive a sun-powered photovoltaic (PV) system from the Sun Power for Schools program. The system was set up on the school's gymnasium roof.
Original system details:
| • |
Two kilowatts (kW) rated peak |
| • |
Eight 4x6 foot panels, weighing 110 pounds each (Manufacturer: ASE, Type: ASE-300-DB/50-285) |
| • |
DC and AC disconnection switches |
| • |
Omnion inverter to convert DC current to AC |
| • |
Autotransformer |
| • |
Data acquisition system (Data collection can be monitored and analyzed by students as part of integrated renewable energy lessons) |
In April 2004 the Omnion inverter was replaced with a SunnyBoy 2500U inverter.
On October 5, 2011 the system was retrofitted with eight new PV panels to replace the older system.
Current system details:
- 2 kilowatts (kW) rated peak
- Eight Suntech Pluto245-wde panels
- Eight Enphase M215 microinverters
- AC utility disconnect
- Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway
