en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brigham Young University-Hawaii is advancing the second phase of its university solar project, which upon completion will enable the campus to be 100% powered by solar energy. The project not only meets the university's own electricity needs but also provides renewable energy services to the neighboring Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) and the Laie Hawaii Temple.

The second phase will involve the construction of new ground-mounted solar arrays in the southwest part of the campus, as well as the addition of solar carports in the parking lot near the PCC Pacific Theater in the southeast corner of the campus. The project also includes an energy storage system, which, according to the university, can provide emergency battery backup power for critical services for up to five days.

In 2022, the university installed three rooftop solar projects, five solar carports, and 7 MWh of energy storage facilities. The initial phase met 39% of the university's energy needs, and the second phase will cover the remaining portion.
