Hawaii Solar Power Resource

Solar resources in Hawaii vary between the different islands. The islands of Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, and the western part of Maui are great sources for flat-plat collectors and the rest of the islands are slightly above average sources as well. According to the map, Oahu drops from being an excellent solar source to an average one while more of Maui becomes a good source for concentrating collectors. The islands of Molokai and Lanai are still great sources for concentrating collectors while the Big Island of Hawaii is mostly mediocre. Hawaii's solar resources varies a lot from island to island but flat-plate solar collectors are good options on any island.
