For those unfamiliar with Solar power usage everything is the same as being on the grid except for the limitation­s on how many electrical appliances you use at one time. We don't recommend blow drying your hair, ironing clothes and toasting bread all at the same time...oth­erwise it is just common sense. The generator turns on with a key and is very quiet. If there is not enough sun to charge the batteries you may need to run the generator in the evenings to recharge the batteries. Longer stays need to be more aware of this and there are complete instructio­ns provided in the cottage. You will be amazed at the efficiency of solar power and you may even consider installing it yourself. This is a great way to experience living off the grid.

We have even installed a back up water system which leaves us completely self sufficient for at least three nights in case of an unexpected water line break which can occur with tropical storms in Hawaii. It is our mission to provide our guests with the up most assurance that your safety and enjoyment is our priority while staying at Hale Aloha Aina.
