Community

community projectsAt PEM we are committed to our community in Hawaii. We have installed Solar systems in local charities, youth groups and cultural centers with volunteered labor, we put aside a percentage of all our proceed to help local programs be energy and financially efficient.

Solar powered energy does more then save money, it even does more then save the environment, solar energy gives back to our community in multiple ways, here are some examples:

  • Energy Independence — Use of native resources (sunlight) reduces reliance on foreign sources of oil and fossil fuels, and avoids conflicts to obtain them.
  • Local Wealth — Money spent on solar systems remains in local communities instead of being sent to foreignlands and companies.
  • National Security — The fuel (sunlight) for solar systems cannot be manipulated or disrupted by businesses, governments, or terrorists, and solar systems reduce the vulnerability and effect of attacks on central power plants.
  • Quality Jobs — More high-end jobs using skilled workers are created from solar electricity than conventional sources of electricity by 7 to 1 (Source: SEIA).
  • Price Stability — The fuel (sunlight) cost never varies with demand. Communities with solar systems enjoy a hedge against volatile market fluctuations, spot market prices, and rising energy rates.
  • Tax Relief — The 100% clean power from solar electricity does not contain future financial burdens for taxpayers like conventional sources of energy do, such as health care, legal, and environmental costs because of pollution, claims, and environmental clean-up costs.
  • Peak Capacity — Solar systems help communities meet their peak energy demand on hot sunny days during critical high demand periods and eliminate the need to use old dirty peak plants or build expensive new ones.
  • Loss Avoidance — Solar electricity is decentralized and avoids the losses associated with crowded transmission and distribution power lines from central plants, which are often located far from where electricity is needed.
  • Blackout Prevention — Solar systems keep businesses operating and homes functioning by improving the reliability, responsiveness, and power quality of the electric grid to failures, brownouts and blackouts.
