A. REQUEST:
To draft a resolution for County Council consideration, permitting Hawaii County
to accept a donation from HELCO of a solar lighting system installed at restrooms
on Hilo Bayfront.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USA ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The Hawaii Electric Light Company Inc. has installed a photovoltaic (PV)
system at Hilo 13ayfront. Funds from a grant provided by the US ®epartment of
Isnergy under its `Million Solar hoofs Initiative' (M~RI) were used to pay for the
system design. HFLCO funded the purchase and installation of the system
together with a $2,000 contribution from the County of Hawaii.
PV roofing shingles on the cover of the kiosk provide power to illuminate a
notice board informing the public about solar technologies and the MSRI. A
separate PV panel provides power for lighting in the nearby restrooms used
mainly by the canoe clubs. HELCO wishes to donate the complete system to the
County. [HELCO's contact for this matter is Mr. Pat Moore at 969-0136.)
