Solar energy: Hawaii and the US islands of the Pacific
Book

OSTI ID:5805573
The current status of solar commercialization in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is outlined. Available solar resources are identified, and suitable applications suggested. Many barriers to solar commercialization exist in the Pacific. Chief among them are the initial expense of a solar installation, and the lack of information and public awareness regarding solar energy's potential. General public education and professional training programs are urgently needed, and information on solar resources and applications must be made available to consumers, the existing and potential solar industry, and policy makers. Other barriers to solar commercialization are also identified.
