That’s how many barrels of oil King Windward Nissan would require to power its Kaneohe dealership over the next 30 years. But they won’t need it.
Last month KWN had more than 460 solar modules installed on its roof - just in time to receive Hawaii’s first shipment of LEAF electric cars.
“Bringing zero-emission vehicles to Hawaii is just the beginning for us,” said general manager Bill Mickelsen. “We are constantly looking to innovate our business in meaningful ways. When we can positively affect our community while increasing efficiency, we know we are on the right path.”
Designed and installed by locally owned and operated Sunetric, the 100-kilowatt solar system should produce 362 kilowatts daily and save KWN an estimated $30,000 a year on its electric bills.
“In today’s economy, saving that kind of money on a permanent basis adds up not just for the dealership but all of Hawaii,” added Sunetric CEO Alex Tiller.
“As King Windward Nissan attracts local and national attention, all eyes will be on the dealership. Their solar array will stand as a beacon to the community that they are serious about conserving our Islands’ resources.”
