Aliamanu Military Reservation Deploys Solar
The Aliamanu Military Reservation announced the installation of advanced renewable energy systems at 200 military homes.
The newly installed EnergyCluster system connects homes into a shared energy network where excess solar power from one unit can be redistributed to others. The innovative model ensures that 75% to 80% of residents’ energy needs are met without relying on the public grid.
Each home is outfitted with a 10-kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system and 25 kWh of energy storage, ensuring continuous power during grid outages.
The solar systems will reduce the strain on Oʻahu’s electrical grid.
“This initiative underscores the Army’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,” said U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii Commander Col. Rachel Sullivan in a statement. “We are dedicated to protecting Hawaii’s unique environment while ensuring operational readiness. This project is a critical part of that mission.”
U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii and its partners plan to extend the project to additional homes across the installation, contributing to Hawaii’s renewable energy future. The project aligns with the U.S. Army’s broader energy security goals, ensuring resilient and sustainable infrastructure in the future.
