There has been a lot of pressure on us, Hawaiians, as well as the rest of the globe, to help stop climate change. Rising sea levels, rising temperatures, and greater greenhouse gas emissions are all contributing to humanity’s demise. The combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, which seep into the atmosphere and trap heat, is the primary cause of climate change. It may seem frightening to consider, and many people believe they are powerless to make a difference, but you can! We might combat this transformation in a variety of ways at home. Some would advise converting to electric vehicles, while others would advise ‘living off the grid’ or ‘it’s not our fault, the huge corporations are destroying our planet’. They are still correct in some ways, but realistically, that is not going to happen for the average person.
My suggestion is that we, Hawaiians, should convert to renewable energy. More specifically, renewable energy sources like solar power, which create electricity with little to no pollution or greenhouse gas emissions. That is the best and cleanest option to meet our energy needs. My ambition is to encourage more people to use solar energy and reduce their carbon footprint. If we want to combat climate change, we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Switching to solar electricity is the simplest way to get started. I recognize that making the changeover may seem challenging at first, but I will provide steps and solutions to assist with the transition.
I’ve spent my entire life in Hawaii and have always valued and cared for the environment. Hawaii has evolved dramatically in recent years, but not for the better. Our woods are disintegrating, we are experiencing record-breaking temperatures every summer, and now, due to the military’s neglect, jet fuel is spilling into our major water source. To put it another way, we need to make the transition to a cleaner Hawaii before it’s too late. Switching to solar is one of the simplest and quickest ways to accomplish it. It would not only aid in the fight against climate change, but it would also help the typical American home save money.
The cost of housing, food, gas, and power is rising, and the majority of the population is struggling to make ends meet. The pandemic imposed a financial toll on many people so Using renewable energy is both morally and economically sound. Solar panels are expensive to install at first, especially if you want to use a lot of them, but in the long run, they will counteract the rise in electricity rates. You won’t need to pay a higher monthly electricity bill because the sun will provide you with enough energy.
That’s what you’d call a high return on investment (ROI). This signifies that the return on investment outweighs the cost.
To calculate how much solar electricity you’ll need, first figure out how many kilowatts your home uses on a monthly basis. The average American household consumes roughly 900 kilowatt-hours (kWh), or 30 kWh every day, or 1.25 kWh per hour. The average retail price of power in Hawaii is 28.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, which equates to around $250 in electricity bills per month. If your average kilowatts is 900, that is. Hawaii is also the most expensive state in the country for energy, with an average household expenditure of $321 per month in 2021. You’d need roughly 19-23 solar panels to generate the same amount of electricity with solar. This would set you back to anything between $13,000 and $16,200. That figure may appear intimidating, but as I previously stated, the return on investment outweighs the cost.
If the average Hawaii household spends $250-$321 per month on electricity, you could pay off your solar panels with the same monthly amount. It would take about 4-5 years to pay off, but you would no longer have to pay electrical costs. The advantages surpass the initial investment. In any case, you’ll still have to pay a monthly electricity bill. You would most likely pay your electricity bill for the rest of your life if you didn’t have solar power unless you decided to live off the grid, which is improbable for the typical individual. If you don’t want to go totally solar, there are other choices like leasing solar panels for your home, which, in my opinion, is advantageous in either case.
Your electric bills will be greatly reduced or eliminated if you go solar. When you install solar power for your home, you create your own electricity, decreasing your monthly electric cost and being less dependent on your electric utility. In addition, a solar panel system has around a 25-35-year lifespan. As a result, you’ll be able to save money on power for decades to come. While you’re recouping your investment, solar can also pay you money. Solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) and net metering are two major benefits of solar energy that allow you to earn bill credits (or even money) while your system generates electricity. Your solar panels are being reimbursed for the electricity they create. Hawaii is one of those states that offer one or both of these advantages, you can expect immediate and long-term benefits from your solar investment. Ultimately it is up to you to decide how much it’s worth. Switching to solar is a big decision, and many of us have a lot on our minds. But thinking about it and conducting your research will pay you in the long run.
Overall, I feel we, Hawaiians, should transition to solar power, not just to reduce our carbon footprint, but also because it is more cost-effective. You’d save money while also helping to rescue the environment one step at a time. The U.S. is moving towards clean energy, and solar is our cheapest option. Lowering our greenhouse gas emissions, beginning with our energy use, will result in a cleaner future for Hawaii. Not to mention the fact that we enjoy year-round sunshine, which provides us an advantage over other states in America. Despite the fact that we have plenty of sunshine all year, Hawaii is still the most expensive state in the country in terms of energy. The cost of living in Hawaii is rising, and switching to solar energy could help mitigate this. After that, it’s up to you to decide what to do next. I hope this has clarified some of the issues surrounding climate change and the use of solar energy. I hope to see more solar panels in Hawaii in the future, and it would make the earth so happy to see a decrease in our carbon footprint. Lets leave Hawaii cleaner for the next generation.
