Kona Rainforest Coffee

The objective of this project is to highlight the partnership between Blue Planet Energy and Hawaii Energy Connection and how they collaborated to bring sustainable energy to coffee farm owners in Hawaii. This case study aims to educate and inspire others about the benefits of solar-plus-storage systems for agricultural operations and how they can contribute to energy savings and sustainability.

To bring sustainable energy to coffee farm owners in Hawaii, Blue Planet Energy and Hawaii Energy Connection installed a solar-plus-storage system that is designed to maximize energy savings and sustainability. The system is designed to store energy generated by the solar panels and provide reliable backup power during outages. The installation required careful planning and consideration of the unique challenges associated with agricultural operations, including irrigation and equipment needs. The solar-plus-storage system has provided coffee farm owners in Hawaii with a reliable source of electricity and has reduced their dependence on fossil fuels, resulting in cost savings and improved sustainability.
