I ka wā maʻi maʻi Covid-19, ʻo 2020 ka makahiki hoʻopaʻa moʻolelo no ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu solar home ma United States.

Ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia nei ka poʻe ma ka home e ka maʻi maʻi a ʻoi aku ka ʻike i ko lākou pono home ikehu, ua lilo ʻo ʻApelila i mahina koʻikoʻi no nā ʻoihana e hoʻopuka i nā hōʻailona kamepiula ma ka wikiwiki ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ala hou o ka hana.

I kēia makahiki ʻē aʻe, ʻōlelo nā hui solar home ʻAmelika e like me Sunrun, Vivint, Sunpower, a me Tesla hiki iā lākou ke pale aku i ka hopena o ka maʻi maʻi ma o nā kūʻai mamao a me nā hoʻolālā pūnaewele hou.

ʻIke ʻia ua pololei lākou.

Ua wānana ʻo BloombergNEF e hoʻokomo ka poʻe ʻAmelika i kahi moʻolelo 3 gigawatts o ka ikehu lā ma luna o nā hale o ko lākou mau hale, ʻoiai ʻaʻole kūpono kēia mau helu i ka manawa maʻalahi i ka hopena o 2019.

ʻOiai ka maʻi maʻi Covid-19, ke kahe mau nei ke kapikala i ka māla lā.Ua wānana ʻo BloombergNEF e hoʻokomo nā ʻAmelika i kahi moʻolelo 3 gigawatts o ka ikehu lā ma luna o ko lākou mau hale, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki i kēia mau helu ke hoʻokō i nā manaʻo.

Ua hoʻolaha aku nei ka mea hana solar ʻo Sunpower i kahi hui pū ʻana he $1 biliona me ka Silicon Valley Credit Union Tech CU, e hāʻawi kālā i kāna mau hana hōʻaiʻē.Hāʻawi ka hui i nā manawa kālā no nā mea kūʻai aku i ka lā a me ka mālama mālama ikehu.ʻO California Institute of Technology kekahi o nā hui hōʻaiʻē 20 nui loa ma Kaleponi.

ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o kahi hoʻolālā kūʻai pūnaewele a me kahi hui hou o nā mea kūʻai kūloko e ʻimi nei i ka ikehu ua ʻae ka mākeke e ulu i kahi makahiki pōʻino.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bloomberg's "Green" magazine i kahi loiloi e ʻōlelo ana: "He ikaika loa ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka ikehu hou.Ua hoʻokuʻu kēia i ka ʻoihana mai ka maʻi ʻino loa a me kekahi mau pōʻino kūlohelohe. "

E like me kā mākou i hōʻike ai, ʻo ka hōʻea koke ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi i kau i ka maʻalahi i ka mea mua a me ka wikiwiki i ka lawe ʻana i nā hana kūʻai kikohoʻe.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luna Nui o Sunrun ʻo Lynn Jurich ma ke kelepona ʻaha kūkā o ka loaʻa kālā: "Ua ʻike mākou i ka kūleʻa nui i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kūʻai kikohoʻe.Ua maopopo iā mākou pehea e ulu ai ka ʻoihana—ʻelua makahiki paha ia—a ua hoʻopau mākou iā ia i hoʻokahi mahina wale nō.Paipai nui wau i kēia hoʻololi a me kona hopena i nā kumukūʻai kūʻai. "

I ka hālāwai kūkā loaʻa kālā mua, ua ʻōlelo nā Luna Nui o Vivint a me Sunrun ua maopopo ke alakaʻi kamepiula i ʻApelila.Ua ʻike pū ʻo Enphase Energy ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka piʻi ʻana o nā alakaʻi kikohoʻe a me ke kaʻa ʻana i kāna hale kūʻai pūnaewele.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jurich ma ke kelepona ʻo Sunrun loaʻa kālā: "ʻO nā hōʻailona mua e hōʻike ana inā ʻo ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka ʻāina i ka wā lōʻihi a nāwaliwali ka hilinaʻi o nā mea kūʻai aku, makemake mau ka poʻe e hoʻohana i ka ikehu lā."
