HONOLULU (HI Now) - Earlier this month, over 250,000 homes and businesses across Hawaii were left in the dark as severe weather battered our power grid. For many families in Leeward Oahu, Honolulu, and Windward Oahu, the outage wasn’t just an inconvenience—it meant spoiled groceries, medical device anxiety, and total isolation. It was a stark reminder that our aging infrastructure is incredibly vulnerable to extreme weather, and the next storm is always just around the corner.
That is exactly why SunSource Power is fundamentally shifting its mission from “Solar for All” to “Solar Batteries for All.” In the past, going solar was primarily about saving money on your monthly electric bill. Today, it is about survival and resilience. Having solar panels on your roof is a great start, but without a backup battery, those panels automatically shut down the moment the main grid goes dark.
We want to educate the public that true energy independence requires storage. For those who already have a battery system, the most crucial step you can take before a storm hits is opening your app and changing your settings to hold a 100% charge in reserve. We are teaching our customers exactly how to lock in their power supply days before the wind even starts blowing, ensuring their homes are fully charged when they need it most.
Because we believe no family should be left in the dark, SunSource Power is making this accessible to everyone. We are currently offering free solar and free batteries with absolutely zero dollars down. We can upgrade your home’s resilience without you having to write a check, completely eliminating the financial barrier to keeping your family safe.
