Sun Power for Schools

Kapolei Middle School

Kapolei Middle School is the 20th school to receive a Sun Power for Schools rooftop solar system.  The two individual systems, one on the gate post of the entrance of Building C (Cultural Center) and the other mounted on the wall and fence of the play court, were installed on November 19, 2004. Both of these systems consist of a solar panel that charges a battery during the daytime, from which it is later used to provide additional lighting in their respective locations.  The solar lighting controller regulates the battery charging/discharging and also controls the lighting operation.

Each off-grid rooftop solar area lighting systems consists of:

  • 65-watt PV panel
  • 80 amp-hour battery
  • Charge/light controller
  • Light fixture with 26-watt compact fluorescent lamp
