Lanai High and Elementary School
Lanai High and Elementary School is the twenty-first school (seventh in Maui County) to receive a photovoltaic (PV) system. Installed on a new shade structure on August 15, 2005, this system consists of two PV systems that total 2.5 kilowatts. The first uses “triple-junction” amorphous modules. The second uses single crystal modules. The project is providing a comparison of the performance of these systems under the partly cloudy conditions typically found at the Lanai site. This project was funded by MECO's Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) membership funds and MECO's research and development funds (Sun Power for Schools customer contributions were not used for this installation).
