TAIZO: ALOHA AND WELCOME
BACK.
WE ALL KNOW REVOLUSUN IS YOUR
YOUR HOME.
POWER IS NOT THE GREATEST IF YOU
CAN'T USE IT 24/7.
DON'T WORRY.
THEY GOT YOUR BACK COVERED WITH
THEIR POWERBALL ENERGY STORAGE
SYSTEMS.
CHECK IT OUT.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC GRID
SUPPLY PROGRAM IS OVER.
REVOLUSUN HAS BEEN GETTING US
READY FOR THIS FOR A WHILE.
I WANT TO BRING IN DAVID GORMAN.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS.
THE LAST TIME YOU CAME ON YOU
WERE SAYING, IT'S COMING.
YOU GUYS ARE PREPARED.
AND PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE FREAKING
OUT.
YOU HAVE THINGS THAT CAN HELP.
WE'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THIS A LONG TIME.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GRID
SUPPLY IS OVER.
WE'RE EXCITED THAT SELF-SUPPLY
IS HERE.
THERE'S STILL A GREAT OPTION FOR
PEOPLE TO GO PV AND GET STORAGE
OR BATTERY TECHNOLOGY TO STORE
THAT DAY TIME LEC TRIES TO USE
AT NICE.
YOU AND I WERE TALKING
BEFORE.
I WAS SURPRISED.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU DO IT THAT
WAY YOUR OFF THE GRID.
IT'S A NICE HYBRID APPROACH.
WHEN YOU HAVE SOLER AND
BATTERIES AND YOU DON'T HAVE
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC, YOU NEED TO
DECEMBER WHERE IT'S RAINING ALL
WEEK LONG.
WITH SELF-SUPPLY, YOU KEEP THE
UTILITY THERE.
AND UTILITY BECOMES YOUR BACKUP
IF THERE'S INCREMENT WEATHER.
TAIZO: THAT'S VERY, VERY
COOL.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER BENEFITS?
WE'VE GOT SOME OF THESE THINGS
HERE.
IS IT A COMPLICATED SYSTEM IN
YOU'RE GREAT SO MATTER HOW HARD
IT IS.
IS IT SOMETHING CHALLENGING TO
INSTALL?
WE'VE GOT LOTS OF STORAGE
PRODUCTS.
WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS
FOR A LONG TIME, PICKING THE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE BEST FOR YOU.
WE'RE ABLE TO CUSTOM A DESIGN
THAT'S BEST FOR YOUR AND YOUR
FAMILY.
THE BEST THING ABOUT SELF-SUPPLY
IS YOU HAVE THESE BATTERIES.
SO IF THE POWER GOES OUT, YOU'RE
STILL GOING TO HAVE BACKUP POWER
EVEN THOUGH THE UTILITY IS DOWN.
TAIZO: THAT'S AWESOME.
WE ALL KNOW WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
IT'S USUALLY WHEN THE KIDS ARE
AROUND AND THE LAUNDRY IS GOING.
WHEN THEY SEE YOU AND WE'RE AT
THE GREAT INNOVATION CENTER THAT
YOU HAVE.
ARE THERE THINGS THAT PEOPLE
SHOULD BRING THIS MIND OR KEEP
IN MIND?
THE SIZE OF THEIR HOUSE?
THERE'S TWO MAIN TACK FORCES.
ONE IS YOUR ELECTRIC BILLS.
YOU'RE GOING TO BRING YOUR
ELECTRIC BILL.
THAT GIVES US HOW MUCH ENERGY
YOU USE PER DAY.
THE OTHER COMPONENT IS HOW MUCH
OF THAT ENERGY DO YOU USE AT
NIGHT VERSUS DURING THE DAY.
WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA.
WHAT THE SPLITS USUALLY IS
BETWEEN NIGHTTIME USAGE AND
DAYTIME.
WE CAN INSTALL CONSUMPTION
MONITORING, WHERE IT'S GOING,
WHEN IT'S BEING USED.
TAIZO: IF ANYBODY WANTS MORE
INFORMATION, YOU HAVE GREAT
SEMINARS.
COME DOWN HERE?
WE'RE GOING TO UPLOAD USEFUL
INFORMATION THERE SO YOU CAN
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM AS
WELL AS THE GREAT PRODUCTS WE
HAVE.
COME SEE US DURING THE WEEK.
WE'RE HERE 8:00 TO 5:00.
YOU CAN SEE, TOUCH AND FEEL ALL
THE PRODUCTS.
AND COME TO ONE OF OUR MONTHLY
SEMINARS.
WE HOLD THEM ON THE THIRD
SATURDAY EACH MOBILITY FROM
10:00 A.M.
TAIZO: YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE END OF THIS PROGRAM
FOR A WHILE.
AND HERE IT IS.
EVERYBODY IS SCRAMBLING.
YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING AND YOU
PREPARED.
WE'VE BEEN
WE'VE BEEN RINGING THE BELL A
BEING IN THE INDUSTRY, I'VE BEEN
DOING THIS SINCE 2008.
WE'VE ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT THIS
PV HOME THAT IT STORAGE.
THAT WAS SELF-SUFFICIENT, SO
STOOLING IS HERE AND
TECHNOLOGY IS HERE.
WE'VE EXCITED.
TAIZO: IT'S SO COOL WHEN YOU
HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT.
AND WE'RE PREPARED.
THANKS, DUDE.
I'M JOINED BY DAVID NOW FROM
REVOLUSUN.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
FOR A GUY, IT'S NICE WHEN YOU
CALL SOMETHING AND IT COMES
TRUE.
YOU'VE BEEN PREPARING US,
LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW OUT
THERE.
AND WE'RE TALKING IN THE
SUPERMARKET, THERE'S THIS OH,
THE PROGRAM'S OVER.
YOU'VE EXCITED.
THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME IN THE
PV WORLD.
I TALK TO PEOPLE AROUND TOWN
ALL THE TIME.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF NEWS
TALKING ABOUT THE TOUGH TIME THE
SOLAR INDUSTRY IS GOING THROUGH.
WE WANT TO EXPRESSES TO EXPRESS TO PEOPLE HOW
EXCITING THIS IS.
BOTH ON HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC'S PART
AS WELL AS THE INDUSTRY'S PART
TO HAVE THESE BATTERIES.
TAIZO: AS A FOOTBALL FAN, IT
WILL BE WHEN THE SEATTLE
SEAHAWKS ARE GOING.
TALK ABOUT -- BECAUSE YOU'RE IN
CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HAWAIIAN
ELECTRIC.
IT'S AN EVER-CHANGING FIELD.
YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR PULSE ON
THAT.
TALK ABOUT THAT AND WHAT
INFORMATION PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW
NOW THAT THE LANDSCAPE CHANGED.
THINGS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING.
WE DON'T CALL IT THE SOLAR
COASTER FOR ANYTHING.
GOING FORWARD THIS IS THE
BEGINNING OF THE FUTURE.
AS A STATE TO REACH THIS 100%
RENEWABLE GOAL BY 2045, WE NEED
TO DEVELOP DEVELOP THIS INFRASTRUCTURE
OF BATTERIES.
WHETHER IT'S WIND OR SOLAR
POWER, THE RENEWABLE SOURCES
NEED TO STORE IT WHEN THE WIND'S
NOT BLOWING AND SUN'S NOT
SHINING.
TAIZO: IS THIS A HARD
PROCESS.
CHECK OUT THEIR LOCATION.
GETTING AN INSTALLATION LIKES
THIS, IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
IT'S NOT COMPLICATED AT ALL.
APPLIANCES THAT WE INSTALL IN
YOUR HOME.
AS FAR AS HOW MANY BATTERY
STORAGE DO YOU NEED?
WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA ZE --
DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF PERSON
ALL DAY.
AND HOW MUCH ENERGY YOU USE
DURING THE DAY VERSUS AT NIGHT.
AND WHAT WE'RE TARGETING IS THAT
NIGHTTIME USAGE BECAUSE WE WANT
TO MAKE THAT PV ENERGY IN THE
DAY AND STORE IT IN THE BATTERY.
TAIZO: WITH THE CHANGES, THE
TIME OF --
TIME OF USE.
TAIZO: AND THAT'S ALL
CONNECTED INTO THAT.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW THING
HERE IN HAWAI'I.
IT'S EVERY UTILITY IN CALIFORNIA
IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A TIME OF
USE RATE PROGRAM.
IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF SOLAR
THAT IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
ELECTRICITY COST DIFFERENT
AMOUNTS FOR HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC TO
MAKE.
DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU USE IT.
TIME OF USE RATE PROGRAM
BASICALLY BREAKS THE DAY UP INTO
THREE SEGS.
WE HAVE OUR 9:00 TO 10:00
WINDOW, 5:00 TO 10:00 A.M. AND
10:00 A.M. AND 5:00 A.M.
PROGRAM.
THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE YOU
DIFFERENT AMOUNTS.
DURING THE DAY ELECTRICITY WILL
COST 15 CENTS.
DURING THAT 5:00 TO 9:00 PEAK,
33 CENTS.
AND OVERNIGHT 22 CENTS.
TAIZO: THAT'S WHERE YOUR
ENERGY SYSTEM COMES IN.
YOU USE IT WHEN IT'S MOST
EXPENSIVE.
NOT COSTING YOU.
GENIUS WAS THIS IS WHY REVOLUSUN
