Photos from my family vacation in Maui.
I just got back from a very nice vacation in Maui Hawaii. It was very relaxing and a nice break from work. Lots of drinking by the pool and at the beach. We also went on lots of boat rides and got to see the whales up close which is always a highlight of the trip.
On the last day I took a bunch of pictures of solar panels that I saw. Since the price of electricity is so expensive you see them almost everywhere. In fact any new construction out there requires them.
Most of the houses have two solar thermal panels on the roof for hot water. However there are still plenty of PV panels too.
I bet this small panel on the boat is used to charge the battery on the boat.
Some pictures of wind turbines as well since Maui gets 10% of its energy from the turbines on the side of the mountain. I hear they plan on adding more to the mountain.
These turbines at the Aquarium made a bit of noise.
Here I am after getting totally wet after sailing on the America’s Cup sail boat.
